mur-1.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710xThe easy thing would have been writing an article last week when the Mueller Report came out. In fact, I could have quoted most of what was unredacted with just a few keystrokes. That would have been the easy thing, but…

It wouldn’t have been anywhere near as fun as waiting.

By giving that report a week to ripen, I was also able to provide just the right amount of time for liberals to come to full boil over it.

To begin with…that report didn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know. President Trump did not collude with the Russians, and President Trump did not obstruct justice. We all knew that before the release of the Mueller Report, and I can guarantee you that liberals were fully aware of that fact even before we knew it.

In fact…liberals were all too well aware there was no collusion because…

Media Editors:  loose lips-BIDEN DIVES IN: “Former Vice President loose lips-Joe Biden formally joined the crowded Democratic presidential contest on Thursday, declaring the ‘soul of this nation’ at stake if President Donald Trump wins re-election. … The 76-year-old Biden becomes an instant front-runner alongside Vermont Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders, who is leading many polls and has proved to be a successful fundraiser. Biden has legislative and international experience that is unmatched in the Democratic field, and he is among the best-known faces in U.S. politics.” (Associated Press)

SWAMP OVERFLOW: “The Democratic field contesting the right to challenge President Trump for the White House next year will be a record 20. Hundreds file each cycle, but only a sliver receive sustained media attention, raise significant amounts of money and are included in televised debates. For the 2020 Democratic presidential nod, 20 people can be listed as viable contenders.” (Washington Examiner)
.
BARR IN THE HOT SEAT: “Attorney General William Barr will testify next week on Wednesday to the Senate Judiciary Committee and answer questions about special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s final report, released last week. Barr will appear at 10am on May 1 before the Senate committee, chaired by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, according to a press release from the committee. He is expected to testify to the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee the next day.” (National Review)

MEASLES WATERSHED: According to Reuters, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “has confirmed 695 measles cases so far this year, the highest level since the country declared it had eliminated the virus in 2000. The resurgence, which public health officials blamed in part on the spread of misinformation about the safety of vaccines, has been concentrated mainly in Washington state and New York with outbreaks that began late last year.” Reuters also reports that “New York City has issued civil summonses to 12 people it said were not complying with a mandatory measles vaccination order as the number of recorded cases in the city’s worst outbreak since 1991 rose to 390.”
.
NEW BORDER ULTIMATUM: “President Donald Trump on Wednesday again threatened to close part of the southern border and send more ‘armed soldiers’ to defend it if Mexico did not block a new caravan of migrants traveling toward the United States. … U.S. officials … said they are expecting a request from the Department of Homeland Security in the coming days for additional troops, although that number is expected to be in the low hundreds. About 5,000 active duty and National Guard troops already are at the border.” (Reuters)
.
PHONE SURVEILLANCE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK? “The National Security Agency has recommended the White House drop the controversial phone surveillance program that was secretly launched during the George W. Bush administration following the 9/11 attacks… The program, which collects metadata on U.S. phone calls and text messages, was started without a court order, and its existence wasn’t known until former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden leaked information to journalists about it in 2013. … If the White House follows the NSA’s recommendation, the program’s legal authority will expire in December.” (The Week)

HISPANICS BENEFIT FROM TRUMP ECONOMY: “Latinos are finding their economic legs under the Trump administration, leading the surge in home ownership and income growth and record low poverty rates, according to two comprehensive new surveys. While they remain far behind whites in income, they have seen their third consecutive year of income growth and have a higher workplace participation rate, according to the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals and the Hispanic Wealth Project.” (Washington Examiner)

FACEBOOK PAYS BIG FROM PRIVACY DISLIKE:  “Facebook said on Wednesday that it expected to be fined up to $5 billion by the Federal Trade Commission for privacy violations. The penalty would be a record by the agency against a technology company and a sign that the United States was willing to punish big tech companies. … Facebook has been in negotiations with the regulator for months over a financial penalty for claims that the company violated a 2011 privacy consent decree. That year, the social network promised a series of measures to protect its users’ privacy after an investigation found that its handling of data had harmed consumers.” (The New York Times)

LEGAL TROUBLE FOR ILLINOIS GOVERNOR: “In a state known for its history of political scandals and corruption, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is the latest official reportedly under federal investigation. The 54-year-old Democratic governor, his wife, and his brother in law are all being investigated … over a tax break appeal. Pritzker and his wife advocated for a property tax break after they purchased a 126-year-old mansion. According to a Cook County inspector general’s report, first lady M.K. Pritzker told workers at the home to remove toilets in the residence in order to declare it ‘uninhabitable’ so that they could get a substantial tax break. The inspector general’s report says Pritzker’s brother-in-law Thomas Muenster and M.K. Pritzker’s personal assistant were involved and the alleged scheme cost taxpayers more than $330,000.” (Washington Examiner)

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Attorney General William Barr will testify before Congress on May 1 about the recently concluded federal Russia investigation... The Senate Judiciary Committee put out a press release Wednesday that listed him as a witness for a hearing titled “The Department of Justice’s Investigation of Russian Interference with the 2016 Presidential Election." Barr’s testimony is scheduled for 10 a.m. Barr will answer senators' questions on special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The Justice Department released a redacted version of dirty cop-Mueller’s nearly 450-page report Thursday, which said President Trump's campaign had “numerous links” to the Russians but “the evidence was not sufficient to support criminal charges.” The special counsel also described several instances of possible obstruction of justice but did not make a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed the investigation. Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein instead made the conclusion, determining the president did not obstruct justice. The attorney general was criticized last week for holding a news conference before the release of dirty cop-Mueller’s report. Barr defended Trump’s actions during the investigation, saying the president was “frustrated and angered by a sincere belief that the investigation was undermining his presidency, propelled by his political opponents and fueled by illegal leaks” to the media. Barr testified earlier this month after he sent out a summary on the dirty cop-Mueller report but before its redacted release last week. He appeared before two appropriations panels about the Justice Department budget, but was asked questions about the dirty cop-Mueller report and said "spying did occur" on the Trump campaign.

After 20 years of reform, 
are America’s schools better off?

aei.org } ~ Twenty years ago this spring, George W. Bush announced that he was forming an exploratory committee as a precursor to his first run for the presidency... In the announcement, he pledged to improve America’s schools, “set high standards, and insist on results” so as to “make sure that not one single child gets left behind.” An era of ambitious education reform had begun. Two decades later, after sweeping efforts that included No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top, and the Common Core, are our schools better off? The answer is less reassuring than one would hope. On the whole, it’s certainly possible to find some evidence of improvement — but progress is easiest to find in the metrics most amenable to manipulation. State tests in reading and math do appear to demonstrate that schools have significantly improved over the last 20 years. Between 2005 and 2009, as No Child Left Behind took full effect, the share of students who proved to be proficient in state tests rose by 1 to 2 percent per year. Over the next six years, state assessments were too varied to allow for meaningful comparison. But the same trend — with the share of proficient students increasing by 1 to 2 percent each year — did reemerge after 2015, when standardized Common Core tests became widely used. And high-school-graduation rates also skyrocketed, from 71 percent in 1997 to 85 percent in 2017. Good news, right? Not exactly. The politicos and state education officials claiming credit for these gains are the same ones who choose state tests, define what qualifies as “proficient,” and monitor graduation rates to guard against funny business. The results are tied into state accountability systems, where lousy results can produce practical and political headaches. Thus, policymakers have both the means and the incentive to inflate the numbers any way they can...   http://www.aei.org/publication/after-20-years-of-reform-are-americas-schools-better-off/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWkRjek16YzFPV00zWm1RNCIsInQiOiJLNSt4SzIwemk2V2hFbTN5KytiZW9aMGJsMVQ5M1V1MmFSbTFzYkgxYXl4MEdFZ0VnSFVpYUdJblFvZndcL1wvNlFLVEhySG5sYUt0UWtkZkpLa0lQZWdkSTBVNzFtWE9PeFErSDM2Q2tUTXVvemhDSzNXVUMreWh5VGl0bXY2dWhhIn0%3D

spectator.org } ~ I remember listening to Kate Smith with my parents. I think it was on the Ed Sullivan show. You could tell, even with our TV’s tinny speaker, that her fulsome voice could reach the far seats of the largest venue and rattle the teeth there like castanets... Her big voice was matched by a big body. I’m certain I wasn’t the only wise guy kid who, when she sang the signature line of her hit, “When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain,” imagined the next line should be, “Kate Smith will hide it from view.” Another Smith standard became a fixture at Yankee Stadium till just a few days ago — “God Bless America.” If the wokelings among us have their way, it will be banished forever from the ears of Yankee fans and, indeed, from any other public performance. Smith, they say, was a racist. All around us the oh-so-woke guard the less enlightened from damaging things like statues of guys who died a century and a half ago or Founding Fathers who weren’t Democratic Socialists before Democratic Socialism was conjured up. Thomas Jefferson, for example, was key to creating the first nation to put things like freedom of religion and freedom of speech into a constitution that guaranteed them as fundamental rights. He would have been hanged by the neck, if George Washington had caught a bullet on one of his many battlefields. Tom, however, owned slaves, so anything associated with him should have his name removed and his every sin should be trumpeted. That was the practice employed by Joseph Stalin back in the days of Communist Russia. When some official who’d been dutifully executing state enemies by the bushel fell foul of Uncle Joe and was himself executed, it was embarrassing for the boss to have photos of the dead guy standing side-by-side with him smiling in official documents or books. The solution was to blot out the fellow from all those images, not a small task in the days before Photoshop. The now-despised was also cut out of all records as anything other than a louse. It may be more difficult to expunge and revise Thomas Jefferson but don’t count out the know-best horde. They dream big politically correct dreams. Meanwhile, Kate Smith makes an easier target. In the 1930s, Smith recorded two songs with racist lyrics and was drawn accepting a “mammy” doll from a fan in a racist cartoon ad for the baking powder company that sponsored her radio show. Smith probably had little or nothing to do with creating the ad, but she did sing the songs. One was “Pickaninny Heaven,” which she sang in the 1933 film Hello Everybody to African-American children playing orphans. The song, which is dated to at least 1918, described a happy afterlife featuring such offensively stereotypical rewards for the children as gigantic watermelons. A second song was her 1931 version of “That’s Why Darkies Were Born,” which came from the Broadway revue George White’s Scandals and included the lyrics, “Someone had to pick the cotton.… That’s why darkies were born.” This song has been described as a satire on racist attitudes toward African-Americans, for it emphasized the unfair burden they carried in life. There’s reason to believe this is true, as it was also recorded in the same year by the African-American artist Paul Robeson, best known for his role in the musical Showboat. He was hardly anyone’s Uncle Tom. Robeson was an advocate for civil rights and so liberal that he was a supporter of the Soviet Union, even when the above-mentioned Uncle Joe was killing all those enemies, including some Robeson knew personally. Smith was born in 1907, just 42 years after the Civil War. Stereotypical representations of African-Americans were routine in song, literature, theater, radio, and film during the early years of her career. While African-Americans got the worse of it by far, many other ethnic groups also got rough treatment. It would be decades before such crude entertainment was no longer tolerated. An examination of the biography of any entertainer of that time, including many African-American performers, is likely to reveal something that can be called racist. Does this make racist claptrap from the past okay? Not at all. Smith, however, died in 1986 and isn’t around to defend herself or apologize. No other evidence of racism in her life has become public. Others, for whom there is abundant evidence, have received better treatment...   https://spectator.org/the-past-is-imperfect/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=3749ffbe20-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_25_04_20&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-3749ffbe20-104608113

Canadian Mayor Wants Sarsour 
Removed From Panel
by investigativeproject.org:  Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman wants to stop anti-Semitic activist Linda Sarsour from participating in an event hosted in the Canadian city on Friday, CBC reports... Sarsour is set to speak at an event entitled, "Sorry Not Sorry: Unapologetically Working for Social Justice," hosted by the Canadian Muslim Women's Institute and the Social Planning Council of Winnipeg. "Mayor Bowman does not feel it is appropriate to provide this individual a public platform to further propagate anti-Semitic views and hate," Bowman's office said in a statement. During a city hall event on Tuesday, Bowman accused Sarsour of stoking "racialized identity politics" and said that "she has continually attacked the foundation of the state of Israel's right to exist." "It's less about the speaker than the social planning council providing that platform and the message it sends to the Jewish community and the community as a whole," Bowman added. The mayor's comments were supported by several Winnipeg organizations including the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg and B'nai Brith Canada – a national advocacy organization on behalf of Canadian Jewry. B'nai Brith Canada originally called on the event organizers to retract Sarsour's invitation. "She's used her platform to promulgate views that are highly problematic, including charges of dual loyalty to Jews who are considered sufficiently too supportive of the state of Israel," Ran Ukashi, a national director at B'nai Brith Canada, said last month...

Political Editors:  Sometimes, we can sum up the American Spirit with humor. We Americans love to laugh, and that may be especially true when laughing at our politicians. Eight-year-old Ava Martinez so perfectly imitates commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s speaking patterns and mannerisms, including her repeated use of the word “like” and her apparent inability to do math related to the $93 trillion Green New Deal.

“Like, I’m commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, aka commie-AOC and like I want to talk about like, climate change. Because, like, there’s no doubt cow farts are making the climate change.”

“Like, in July, the climate was 96 degrees and in February the climate was 36 degrees. OMG, like that’s a huge change in the climate in only four months.”

“Like, at this rate the world is going to end in exactly 12 years, and, like, I’m only 29-years-old now so the world will be over when I’m only 37-years-old.”

“Like, I also want to talk about socialism because socialism is so amazing. Like, socialism is actually short for social media, did you know that? Like, I do social media so I’m a socialist and, like, three of the most successful countries in the world are socialist too — Venezuela, Facebook, and Twitter are all very successful socialist countries. I have a lot of friends that moved to America from Facebook.”  ~The Patriot Post

patriotpost.us } ~ The dirty cop-Mueller v Trump charade may have concluded, but the Democrats v America charade remains in full swing... Most Americans want political leadership that is, first and foremost, dedicated to promoting a domestic agenda that is good and right for our nation. On a personal level, we want safe communities to raise our families, good jobs that provide income so we can afford to support our families, and a sense of security about our future and that of our nation. Those of us who are military families have more at stake. Democrats constantly endeavor to undermine the president’s foreign-policy agenda by undermining his office. At a time when Donald Trump is dealing with critical national-security issues, some of which have been neglected for decades including the crisis on our southern border, that endangers our military personnel. Democrats often repeat the mantra that they are doing “the work of the American people.” But all they have to offer is their vitriolic “Hate Trump” platform that feeds the anger and fear of their increasingly deranged constituents. Donald Trump has genuinely endeavored to make America a better country for all of its citizens — and in many respects has accomplished that despite that Democrats’ best efforts to obstruct that agenda. But Democrats have spent the last two years using their “Russia collusion” subterfuge to undermine progress for all Americans — because that progress threatens their power. They will spend the next two years doing the same thing...

Dershowitz: dirty cop-Robert Mueller 
Completely Bungled Obstruction Report

conservativefreepress.com } ~ Democrats are in a bit of a bind right now. After telling their voters for two years that Donald Trump was an evil traitor who sold his country down the river for the promise of the presidency... they watched numbly as dirty cop-Robert Mueller delivered the bad news: That whole Russian collusion theory…yeah, it turns out that was BS. No one involved with the Trump campaign helped the Russians meddle in the election. There was no conspiracy. There was no collusion. Sorry, guys. Hate to leave you hanging out here in the wind. Wish there was something I could do. But wait, maybe there is! And it was with this spirit that dirty cop-Mueller wrote Volume II of his report, which is all about President Trump’s attempts to “obstruct justice.” Justice, in this instance, being a baseless witch hunt into a fictitious crime, but you know, justice nonetheless. Now, seeing as how the president was always fully empowered to fire dirty cop-Mueller and send him back into retirement, we’re not sure how he could have “attempted” to obstruct the investigation. Did he tell people to lie to dirty cop-Mueller and his team? Nope. So what then? Oh, he said some mean things on Twitter and he ranted at his attorney general. Cool. Let’s lock him in prison and throw away the key. In a version of the dirty cop-Mueller report due to be published on Amazon in the coming days, famed attorney Alan Dershowitz concludes that one of the biggest problems with the report is that dirty cop-Robert Mueller apparently doesn’t understand the legal nature of obstruction. Or, if he understands it, he fails to follow the logic to its inexorable conclusion: That the president could not have obstructed justice by the actions he took. Simply by virtue of BEING the president, he had every right to make every move that he did. “The dirty cop-Mueller Report correctly concludes that there are no Supreme Court decisions or even Department of Justice positions that directly resolve the issue of whether ‘the president’s exercises of his constitutional authority to terminate an FBI director and to close investigations’ can constitutionally constitute an obstruction of justice,” writes Dershowitz. “The report also acknowledges the principle that ‘general statutes must be read as not applying to the president if they do not expressly apply where application would arguably limit the president’s constitutional role.’”...

Most Illegals Need Govt. Services Costing U.S. Taxpayers More Than $100 Billion/Year

lidblog.com } ~ A new report finds that Democrats are wrong about Illegals becoming useful members of society and that most end up requiring government services costing the taxpayers billions... In fact, the majority of illegals receive some sort of government services and in total illegal immigration costs taxpayers over $100 billion more than paid in by those illegals who do pay taxes. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform’s 2017 report, illegal immigrants, and their children cost American taxpayers a net $116 billion annually—roughly $7,000 per alien annually. While high, this number is not an outlier: a recent study by the Heritage Foundation found that low-skilled immigrants including those here illegally cost Americans trillions throughout their lifetimes, and a study from the National Economics Editorial found that illegal immigration costs America over $140 billion annually. As the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether it is Constitutional to ask a census question about legal status, various U.S. cities are worried about a flood of illegals being added to their social services. The case underscores what experts say is a growing cost to taxpayers from the surge of Central American families and unaccompanied minors. “We’re talking about billions of dollars in taxpayer benefits over the next few years,” said Dan Stein, director of the right-leaning think tank, Federation for American Immigration Reform. “The payout for the taxpayer is enormous and income to the Treasury is miniscule.”...  https://lidblog.com/illegals-need-govt-services/

breitbart.com } ~ Progressive organizations, many financed by billionaire activist scumbag-George Soros, are working overtime to restore voting rights for Florida’s nearly 1.4 million ex-felons... as the nation’s biggest swing state seems poised to play a pivotal electoral role in the 2020 presidential race. The current battle revolves around a Florida state amendment that was passed last year restoring voting rights for felons, with progressive groups opposing a local bill that would require the state’s ex-felons to first pay civil fines and court fees before registering to vote. Florida’s Amendment Four was approved by voters during last year’s Midterm election.The heavily scumbag-Soros-funded American Civil Liberties Union and scumbag/commie-Brennan Center for Justice based in New York both served as consultants in drafting Amendment Four. scumbag-Soros’s Open Society Foundations donated $50 million to the ACLU. The scumbag/commie-Brennan Center has been the recipient of numerous grants from scumbag-Soros’s Open Society Foundations totaling over $7,466,000 from 2000 to 2010 alone. Desmond Meade, president of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, helped lead activism that put Florida’s Amendment Four on the ballot last year, including a news-making petition to restore voting rights to the released felons. His group is currently opposing efforts to require the former felons to pay their court fees prior to regaining their voting abilities. “When I looked out of the plane, I said somewhere down there’s an imaginary line that divides Florida from Georgia. And it reminds me of the days of slavery when all a slave had to do was cross an imaginary line to get to freedom,” Meade said, comparing the ex-felon registration drive to the fight against slavery. “And I said there is no way in hell in the 2000s should any American citizen have to escape another state to experience their freedom and their democracy.”...   https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/04/22/battleground-florida-soros-funded-groups-work-to-register-1-4-million-ex-felons-ahead-of-2020/

‘Misleading a Lot of People’: Mukasey 
Calls Out Cuomo’s Russia Conspiracies

newsbusters.org } ~ During his appearance on Tuesday’s Cuomo Prime Time, former Attorney General Michael Mukasey didn’t shy away from calling Chris Cuomo out for “misleading a lot of people”... when it came to the findings of the special counsel investigation. In a brilliant display of schooling the so-called “Facts First” network, Mukasey went toe-to-toe with blowhard host and outclassed him at every turn. One of Mukasey’s first points was to accurately state that collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia didn’t happen. Despite the facts of the investigation, Conspiracy Cuomo argued that collusion did occur. Then came the first of many reality checks from Mukasey: CUOMO: Who says it didn’t happen? Russian interference happened. MUKASEY: Russian interference happened for sure, but cooperation and conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russians did not happen. And that was -- CUOMO: To a criminal level, no says Mr. dirty cop-Mueller. MUKASEY: -- to any level. Cuomo likes to remind folks that he used to be a lawyer, but it may become apparent why he no longer practices law when he had to get the U.S. attorney general’s job explained to him more than once: CUOMO: So, when you say no crime, dirty cop-Mueller couldn’t decide on that one, gave it to your friend the Attorney General, he decided it. MUKASEY: Right, which is his job...   https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2019/04/24/misleading-lot-people-mukasey-calls-out-cuomos-russia?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWTJNMk9UTTJZVFl4TmpFeiIsInQiOiJ0Q3dGbTRGMjNobHU5VUI5RVpEQ1wvK0Ftd21OME1jVFhnVmpcL3V1cHUwUG5qT093Z0JSMG9ZYTRNeEp3V2dTc1E5TkhXb1ptMTI0SHVJNU5IUmlGeldNT1BvTVBnVDZnXC9nWVBZWnBqT045U0tUMDR2cUVJeUp3dVBONnhIZXkxWSJ9

How rino-Romney and Trump Were Both Right
AsX4_A1F904hervOrwvTa36uteml6ogKB3BK_aFkBnADzP0UXJw40anNR4ZvaywGztDEUJTFKn7ZqI8_VARRKKyP6OZIGTUZ3_qSQ07br5oxIr6ajXyCeGskM6PuGpQIBTzTcN4QL6DcUIyXeq0NEW7oHocWZ5_t9ff-3NA=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Harold Hutchison:  The latest dust-up between President Donald Trump and Senator rino-Mitt Romney is typical of the divide between the MAGA and  establishment wings of both the Republican Party and the conservative movement. What makes this fight so difficult is that both sides have some valid points.

For all the grief he got for his reaction to dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report over this past weekend, rino-Romney is accurate when he says that the country has strayed far from the aspirations and principles of the Founders. Certainly, we at The Patriot Post believe they would be appalled by the expansion of the size and scope of the federal government and in particular at the constant assault on the First and Second Amendments. In that part of his statement at least, rino-Mitt Romney is 100% correct.

But Trump retaliated with a tweet pointing out something else that was quite obvious: If rino-Mitt Romney had fought Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s flawed policies in 2008 or 2012 with the same fire he has shown against Trump’s character flaws today, he’d likely have been president in either election — and the country would be much better off.

Back in January, we noted with great disappointment that rino-Romney took some shots at Trump over his character flaws, including womanizing. Well, those have been known by anyone who has followed celebrity gossip for the last 35 years. Americans factored those in when they voted in 2016 and will do so again in 2020. In 2016, enough Americans supported Trump in enough states to give him the presidency.

But here’s what rino-Romney doesn’t seem to understand: Had he beaten scumbag/liar-nObama in either 2008 or 2012, the same Resistance that has cropped up to President Trump would have arisen against him. It might not have been a bunch of women claiming affairs (given rino-Romney’s character, such claims would have been laughable), but you can bet they would have found something to attack, possibly his religious faith.

Furthermore, there would still be a “Resistance” out there, but this one would have declared him racist, with the defeat of the first black president serving as prima facie evidence of racism. We’d see the same sort of actions as well. And the same treatment would have been in store for rino-John McCain had he won in 2008.

rino-John McCain and rino-Mitt Romney were/are good men and patriots. The problem was, neither cared to punch back against the Left’s lies. Both overestimated the fairness of the press and their political opposition despite decades of evidence to the contrary and assumed they could reach across the aisle.

Worse, both of them failed conservatives who swallowed their disappointment to back them as the nominees in 2008 and 2012. rino-Romney in particular did not speak up about the IRS targeting the Tea Party, or Operation Choke Point, or other abuses of power by the scumbag/liar-nObama administration. Nor did they speak up when Second Amendment supporters were smeared as domestic terrorists or when California tried to force pro-life crisis pregnancy centers to advocate for abortion, among other incidents. Even now, with scumbag-Andrew Cuomo acting like Venezuela’s Maduro or Turkey’s Erdogan and prosecutors targeting press outlets over editorial decisions, rino-Romney has been silent when he should be objecting.

rino-Mitt Romney is at least aware of how far we’ve strayed from the aspirations and principles that underlie the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence. His big problem is that he and others haven’t learned the lessons of 2016 and don’t seem to realize that we are at a point where it will be a hard fight to merely get into a position where it can be possible to bring the government back in line with those principles.

We can be critical of Trump’s character flaws while at the same time recognizing his pugnaciousness is achieving results. It is lamentable that we have had to make the choice between character and an effective tactician, but that was where 2016 left us. Given what has gone on since then, it’s likely we face the same choice in 2020.  ~The Patriot Post

The Hillyer Plan to Save 
Social Security and Medicare

{spectator.org} ~ Monday’s release of the annual report from the trustees of Social Security and Medicare reminds us, this time all the more urgently, that Congress and the president are derelict in their duty... Without concerted action of the sort Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole, and Daniel Patrick Moynihan used to substantially increase the life of Social Security in a grand compromise in 1983, both federal retirement programs face doom. Trustees say that for the first time since 1982, the main Social Security trust fund is expected next year to pay out more money than it takes in. By 2035, Social Security’s official trust fund will be entirely depleted, they say. The trust fund for Medicare Part A will be depleted far sooner than that, in 2026. Yes, sustained economic growth can push back the respective days of reckoning by a year or two. On the other hand, with unemployment at a 50-year low, history says the odds of a slowdown or recession are higher than those of continued growth — which means the depletion dates, if anything, are more likely to be, not later, than 2035 and 2026. The situation screams out for significant legislation. Fortunately, I have a proposal. In some ways its effect is mostly to shift the book-keeping for various streams of federal tax money, to the detriment of the non-retirement-systems debt and the benefit of the retirement systems. Nonetheless, I believe it will help the economy at the margins, provide for higher wages for non-executives, and provide more public clarity and confidence. Space doesn’t allow a full explanation of each part of the Hillyer Plan. That will come in later columns. Herewith, though, is a list of the elements thereof. The first is a very rough tradeoff of “general fund” revenue for money specifically dedicated to Social Security and Medicare — with the added goal of making accounting less complicated by dealing in whole or round numbers. The current payroll tax dedicated to Social Security is 6.2 % each for the employee and the employer, and the Medicare tax is 1.45% each for the employee and employer. I would bump the former up to 6.5% each, and the latter up to 1.5% each. End those weird fractions, and put the tiny increases into the two trust funds. To help corporations pay for the added cost, let’s cut the top corporate income tax rate from 21 % to an even 20%. At the same time, the 20% deduction for pass-through businesses, which under current law will end after 2025, should be made permanent.Two more major changes will lengthen the actuarial life of both programs. First, lawmakers should bite the bullet and do exactly what Dole and company did in 1983, and allow the age for qualification for full benefits once again to rise. The Social Security full-eligibility age is now rising to 67 by 2027. Let it keep rising, over the subsequent six years, to 68. Likewise, the Medicare full-eligibility age, now 65, should start rising slowly to 66...

scumbag-James Clapper Knew There Was

by H.A. Goodman  
thefederalist.com } ~ Long before the special counsel probe ended in confirming there was no collusion between President Trump and Russia... the U.S. government knew there was no evidence of a vast conspiracy between Trump and a foreign power. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced the appointment of Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller to investigate “ties between President Trump’s campaign and Russian officials” on May 17, 2017. President scumbag/liar-nObama’s director of national intelligence scumbag-James Clapper had access and was privy to all the “evidence” the U.S. government collected since the Russia investigation began in July 2016. From July 2016 until scumbag-Clapper’s appearance on “Meet the Press” in March 2017, not one shred of evidence linked anyone in Trump’s campaign to allegations listed in the Christopher Steele dossier or Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos’s meeting with Australian diplomat Alexander Downer. scumbag-Clapper stated to Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on March 5, 2017 that the National Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Central Intelligence Agency had collected “no evidence” regarding “improper contacts” between Trump and Russia: CHUCK TODD: Well, that’s an important revelation at this point. Let me ask you this. Does intelligence exist that can definitively answer the following question, whether there were improper contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials? scumbag-JAMES CLAPPER: We did not include any evidence in our report, and I say, ‘our,’ that’s N.S.A., F.B.I. and C.I.A., with my office, the Director of National Intelligence, that had anything, that had any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. There was no evidence of that included in our report. CHUCK TODD: I understand that. But does it exist? scumbag-JAMES CLAPPER: Not to my knowledge. CHUCK TODD: If it existed, it would have been in this report? scumbag-JAMES CLAPPER: This could have unfolded or become available in the time since I left the government. CHUCK TODD: At some– scumbag-JAMES CLAPPER: But at the time, we had no evidence of such collusion. So, President scumbag/liar-nObama’s top intelligence official and a man with access to FBI, CIA, and NSA surveillance on President Trump’s campaign stated categorically that no evidence existed of “any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians.” This was two months before Rosenstein appointed dirty cop-Mueller special counsel, and Clapper’s knowledge dated into 2017. So why did Rosenstein appoint dirty cop-Mueller?...

How Palestinian Leaders Encourage Terrorism

gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas recently reaffirmed his longstanding commitment to pay families of Palestinians who were imprisoned for or killed during terrorist attacks against Israelis... "We have been paying the families of the prisoners and martyrs since 1965," Abbas told Arab League Foreign Ministers during an emergency meeting in Cairo on April 21. Abbas's insistence on paying millions of dollars to families of Palestinians who murder or attempt to murder Jews, has cost the Palestinians a heavy price. In the past two months, Abbas's government has been unable to pay full salaries to its 200,000 employees. The reason? Israel has begun deducting, from the tax revenues it collects on behalf of the Palestinians, the same amount the PA government pays each month to the families of the prisoners and "martyrs." Facing a sharp financial crisis, the PA government says it has been forced to pay its employees only 50%-60% of their salaries because Israel has been deducting the large sums of money that were supposed to go to the families of prisoners and terrorists who carried out attacks against Israelis. In his speech before the Arab foreign ministers, Abbas urged the Arab states to provide the Palestinians with financial aid to prevent the PA from collapsing. Referring to Israel's opposition to the payments made to Palestinian terrorists and their families, Abbas explained: "We've been paying them since 1965 because they died or were imprisoned or wounded for the sake of a national interest and not for personal reasons. It's our duty to care for the families." Abbas further claimed that Israel has deducted more than $100 million from the tax revenues in the past two months...

Terrorists in Sri Lanka swore

{longwarjournal.org} ~ The Islamic State has released three statements and a video claiming responsibility for the bombings in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday... The first, a terse statement by Amaq News Agency, offered no details about the operation, saying simply that a security “source” told the group’s media arm that the so-called caliphate’s “fighters” had carried out the attacks. The Islamic State subsequently released a longer statement, saying that 1,000 people were killed or injured in the orchestrated assault. That statement highlighted the fact that Christians were the intended target, as they are supposedly at war with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s enterprise. The statement also provides the aliases for several of the bombers. Amaq News then produced a third statement, including a photo of the eight alleged perpetrators standing in front of the flag typically flown by the group. The photo is reproduced above. Only one of the eight is unmasked. That individual, seen in the middle, appears to be Zahran Hashim, a fiery ideologue who spread his hateful message in online videos. Importantly, Amaq has also posted a video showing the eight perpetrators, led by Hashim, swearing allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi before their day of terror. Amaq has disseminated similar videos after a series of attacks in the past. The footage is intended to underscore the idea that Baghdadi’s loyalists were responsible. As FDD’s Long War Journal has previously assessed, Amaq’s videos demonstrate that there is at least a digital tie between the perpetrators and the Islamic State’s network...

Should Natural Born Citizenship Be a 
Requirement for All Federal Elected Offices?
by Dean Malik

americanthinker.com } ~ On February 27, 2019 at a speaking engagement held at a Washington D.C.  bookstore, newly elected Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar stated...
 with apparent reference to both American Jews and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee ("AIPAC"), "I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country." This comment followed recent tweets from Omar suggesting that American elected officials were "bought off" by the pro-Israel lobby, and earlier tweets from before she was elected, beseeching Allah to punish Israel for its "evil deeds." The tweets were roundly condemned as dog whistle anti-Semitism both by conservatives and members of her own party. However, the greater question raised by Omar's conduct before and after her election pertains to the path that brought her to the United States as a young refugee from a war-torn country on the Horn of Africa and ultimately lead to her becoming a powerful elected official. In an attempt to defend or minimize Omar's statements, House Speaker Nancy Pulosi offered, "She didn't have a full appreciation of how her words landed on other people where these words have a history and cultural impact that might have been unknown to her." The import of Pulosi's comments is clear. Omar comes, as an immigrant, from a different cultural milieu, and she could not be expected to understand how Americans, given our culture and history, would interpret her statements. Whether joking about the American view of terrorist organization al Qaeda, dismissing the notion that America is a "Christian" nation, or referring to the 9/11 terrorist attacks as "some people did something," Omar's apparent indifference to American culture and history has been showcased on multiple occasions. It is fitting, albeit ironic, that Omar, a naturalized American citizen, by raising an accusation of dual loyalty and self-dealing against other Americans, has opened the door to a conversation about whether natural born citizenship should in fact be a requirement for the very office she holds. Under Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution, natural born citizenship is a requirement for eligibility to run for President; the section provides. Article I, Sections 2 and 3 of the Constitution require only citizenship for seven and nine years respectively, and residency in the United States, for eligibility to run for Congress or Senate.  Accordingly, immigrants such as Ilhan Omar who became citizens through naturalization are able to serve in Congress and the Senate, but could not serve as President of the United States...

dinky-Warren's 'Universal Free College' Plan 
Is No Free Lunch
FTIDC-fQi5nZUqrJBq_XGFW94NXIeVtX5XoPn-B503bL78_NkuB9tBUgFPy5EYVW-4_T7uLdLoAZC9-8FyWm8zqqSuxRn0e9u8yngc8zcJzLFYs4i4hy-UNzVdwlS3w7KoaevDyOCCTdqodbhbu0sVwTk05r0IFssVIUsuA=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Thomas Gallatin:  The country’s favorite 1/1024th Native American and Democrat presidential candidate Elizabeth dinky-Warren recently released her plan for tackling the growing problem of student-loan debt. Currently running a disappointing third in her own state, Warren’s pitch is a desperate attempt to gain attention by running to the left of current Democrat frontrunner commie-Bernie Sanders. Warren is seeking to take the lead on government-provided “free stuff” by offering some actual details as to how she would implement a “free college” program. Not surprisingly, the former college professor’s plan is chock-full of stuff that would make any Marxist revolutionary proud. No wonder she made her pitch on Vladimir Lenin’s birthday.
 

dinky-Warren’s first order of business would be to “solve” the problem of student-loan debt by simply canceling it. She explains, “The first step in addressing this crisis is to deal head-on with the outstanding debt that is weighing down millions of families and should never have been required in the first place. That’s why I’m calling for something truly transformational  —  the cancellation of up to $50,000 in student loan debt for 42 million Americans.” So, by a stroke of the pen, she would eliminate at least part of the obligations of “more than 95% of the nearly 45 million Americans with student loan debt,” as well as “wipe out student loan debt entirely for more than 75% of the Americans with that debt.”

But everyone knows that money doesn’t grow on trees; somebody has to pay for this. Warren has an answer for that: “the government,” which of course any thinking person knows means taxpayers. However, she contends that it would only be “a one-time cost … of $640 billion.” It’s the second part of her plan, the Universal Free College program, that would tip the scales at “roughly $1.25 trillion over ten years” and should really be getting everyone’s attention. (Americans owe a collective $1.5 trillion in student loans.) But, don’t worry — Warren has this cost figured out as well. You see, only “the 75,000 wealthiest families in the country” will be charged. She calls it her “Ultra-Millionaire Tax” on “those with fortunes of $50 million or more.” This is plainly wealth redistribution.

dinky-Warren is committed to the “universal” aspect of her plan — so much so that she would “prohibit public colleges from considering citizenship status” during admissions decisions. Her plan would also “ban for-profit colleges from receiving any federal dollars (including military benefits and federal student loans), so they can no longer use taxpayer dollars to enrich themselves while targeting lower-income students, service members, and students of color and leaving them saddled with debt.” Evidently, Warren would rather they become permanent wards of the state.


Some other thoughts from our friends on the Right:

“We are familiar with all the fine rhetoric about higher education being the key to preparing the 21st-century work force and maximizing its productivity, but we cannot help but notice that this is being championed by the same people who have helped to make our K–12 education system the grotesque laughing stock that it is. The public schools are in effect a dysfunctional and wildly corrupt full-employment program for Democratic constituencies, and that same dynamic has driven much of the growth in college administration, too: There are a lot of deputy deans of social justice out there. We don’t need one more, much less 10,000 more.” —National Review

“As long as the government makes it easy to get loans, colleges are going to continue increasing tuition and fees above the rate of inflation. If the federal government bails out students, colleges will increase costs even further as everyone realizes there will be no consequence.” —Erick Erickson

“This pander will not only be incredibly costly, but it will be a slap in the face to those who have already struggled to pay off their student loans without government assistance.” —Philip Klein  ~The Patriot Post

Russia Reveals New Sub 
Carrying Nuclear-Tipped Drone

freebeacon.com } ~ Russia unveiled one of its nuclear superweapons on Tuesday launching its first submarine capable of firing high-speed underwater drones armed with massive nuclear warheads... The first Project 09852 submarine described as the "special purpose" nuclear powered Belgorod vessel was launched from Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk in northern Russia, the government news outlet TASS reported. The report included a photograph of a large underwater vessel with a twin tail and wings. According to the report, the submarine will be armed with six nuclear drones that have been labeled Kanyon by the Pentagon and Poseidon by the Russians. The new submarine appears to be a variant of one of Russia's Oscar-class, cruise missile-firing submarines first built in the 1992 and upgraded during the 2010s. The report said details of the new submarine remain secret. Mikhail Budnichenko, director of the shipyard, said during the launch ceremony that "the enterprise’s shipbuilders will fulfill all the tasks of building ships within the established timeframe and with high quality." The submarine will be finished while afloat and TASS quoted a defense source saying the nuclear reactor will be tested later this year, with sea trials set for 2020 and deployment by the end of that year. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who announced the nuclear drone weapon in March 2018, reportedly watched the submarine launch from Moscow via video. The Washington Free Beacon first reported the existence of the nuclear drone in 2015. Defense officials described the Kanyon as a weapon capable of blowing up entire ports and cities, such as Kings Bay, Ga. and Puget Sound in Washington state where U.S. nuclear missile submarines are based...

news.usni.org } ~ Lockheed Martin is working through $2.5 billion in military contracts to develop a variety of hypersonic weapons in a bid to catch up with developments from China and Russia... company chief executive Marillyn Hewson said during a Tuesday earnings calls. The Pentagon has made moves to accelerate the development of hypersonic weapons in its latest guiding documents, and that has driven investment from the company, Hewson said. “We have been investing in hypersonics for many, many years, and as a result of that, that’s why we’re leading in this trend of being able to bring capabilities forward. In terms in how the market is developing, it’s basically threat-driven, if you look at what was in the National Defense Strategy, Missile Defense Review,” she said. “It’s clearly a need for us to not only address hypersonics but also counter-hypersonics as well.” In the Tuesday morning call, Hewson highlighted the late-February contract with the Navy for development and testing of the service’s conventional prompt global strike concept that would notionally create a hypersonic glide vehicle that would ride a ballistic missile launched from a submarine down to its target. “We received an order for over $800 million from the U.S. Navy to design, develop, build and integrate technologies to support the flight test demonstration of a new hypersonic boost-glide weapons system. Lockheed Martin was awarded the Navy’s conventional prompt strike weapons contract and will provide flight articles and support equipment for the systems flight test,” Hewson said...

freebeacon.com } ~ The National Rifle Association on Monday called New York City's proposed change to the gun law set to be examined by the Supreme Court a "feeble attempt to stop the lawsuit over the city’s unconstitutional firearm travel ban... " that shouldn't prevent the Court from hearing the case. "New York City's problem is they think they're regulating a privilege instead of a fundamental, constitutional right," Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, said in a statement. "The city's attempt to slightly modify its unconstitutional law is a nakedly transparent delay tactic. We are confident that the U.S. Supreme Court will reject New York's shenanigans and allow the case to proceed." The group's statement comes in response to dueling court filings from lawyers representing New York City and the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association. Earlier this month, the city filed a motion informing the Court that a proposed rule change would address the complaints made by the gun-rights activists suing the city. It said the restrictions on traveling outside of the city with a legally owned gun would be reduced and gun owners would be able to legally travel to a few new locations with their firearms. "If adopted in accordance with established procedures, the proposed rule would render this case moot before the parties complete the merits briefing in this case," Dearing said. "For this reason, I also write to request that the Court stay the current briefing schedule pending final action on the proposed rule."...

{westernjournal.com} ~ If you think you’re saving the environment by driving a Tesla, well, let me let you in on a bit of a secret... You could perhaps emit less carbon if you went with a diesel car. The findings of a new study by a group of German scientists seem counter intuitive at first. They found that electric vehicles in their home country accounted for more emissions than those smoggy diesels. Until, that is, you realize that “zero emissions” vehicles aren’t really so zero emissions.“When CO2 emissions linked to the production of batteries and the German energy mix — in which coal still plays an important role — are taken into consideration, electric vehicles emit 11% to 28% more than their diesel counterparts, according to the study, presented on Wednesday at the Ifo Institute in Munich,” the Brussels Times reported. “Mining and processing the lithium, cobalt and manganese used for batteries consume a great deal of energy,” the report said. “A Tesla Model 3 battery, for example, represents between 11 and 15 tonnes of CO2. “Given a lifetime of 10 years and an annual travel distance of 15,000 kilometres, this translates into 73 to 98 grams of CO2 per kilometre, scientists Christoph Buchal, Hans-Dieter Karl and Hans-Werner Sinn noted in their study.” When you factor in the energy needed to charge the batteries, this ups that total to 156 to 180 grams of CO2 per kilometer.The study’s authors recommended that instead of pushing for the adoption of “zero emission” electric cars, European officials should instead move toward other sources of power for automobiles — namely methane, “whose emissions are one-third less than those of diesel motors.” This, by the way, is hardly the only study that’s questioned whether electric cars are really as environmentally friendly as their proponents claim. A 2017 study by researchers at the University of Michigan found that the amount of CO2 emitted by electric cars varied wildly by country, but it certainly wasn’t zero...

Lewis Morris:  The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has proven once again why it is a reliable rubber stamp for the Left. In a seriously flawed ruling late last week, a three-judge panel from the Ninth Circuit unanimously upheld the majority of California’s laws making it a sanctuary state — laws that were deliberately designed to frustrate the federal government’s ability to enforce immigration law.
 

The ruling was in response to a Justice Department challenge to laws passed in the early days of the anti-Trump, pro-illegal immigrant hysteria. The three laws passed by the California legislature included the following: AB 450, which prohibits private employers from voluntarily cooperating with federal immigration officials; SB 54, which prevents state and local law-enforcement officials from providing information to the feds about the release date of deportable criminal aliens in their custody; and AB 103, which imposes a state-run inspection and review regime on the federal detention of aliens held in facilities under federal contracts.

U.S. District Court Judge John Mendez threw out the Justice Department lawsuit challenging the laws in 2018, and the Trump administration promptly appealed. It is likely to be appealed again, this time to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Ninth Circuit ruling did find that part of AB 103 improperly intruded on federal authority, claiming that certain portions of the law imposing additional economic burden on the federal government were invalid. As for the other laws, the appeals court ruled that California was well within its constitutional right to create laws that prevented it from being compelled to follow federal statute.

George Mason University law professor Ilya Somin  agreed with this illogic, claiming that the Ninth Circuit ruling was a triumph for federalism.

They’re all wrong.

While it is a true and established legal principle that the federal government cannot “commandeer” state governments to enforce federal law, that is not what is happening here. In California, and many other state and municipal jurisdictions providing material comfort and legal sanctuary to illegal immigrants, the state government is actively pursuing a course of action to impede the federal government from enforcing federal law.

When states create laws within their jurisdictions that are meant to manage what goes on within their borders, that is federalism. When states create laws to deliberately block the federal government from doing its constitutionally mandated duty, that’s anarchy.

The Supreme Court established back in 1875 that the federal government is the final arbiter when it comes to immigration law, and that the federal government holds the power to enforce that law, partly through its regulation of interstate commerce. Until Trump became president, no one gave too much more thought to the matter. But now that leftists are determined to erase America’s borders in a diabolical attempt to grow their own ranks via illegal immigrants put on the government dole, Democrats will do anything they can to frustrate federal enforcement of immigration. And their friends and cohorts in the courts and the media are going along.

Somin, a usually reliable legal scholar, tried to further bolster his erroneous reading of the Ninth Circuit’s actions by mentioning that there was an “ideologically disparate group of judges” appointed by both Republicans and Democrats who challenged Trump’s actions on immigration. Apparently, this is supposed to add weight to the most recent Ninth Circus fiasco. The only reasonable response to this factoid would be, so what? Many of these judges who have rejected the opportunity to enforce immigration law were appointed by presidents who also failed to do anything to fix our immigration problem. scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack scumbag/liar-nObama all paid a lot of lip service to the issue, but none was willing to put their political reputation on the line to do anything. In fact, scumbag/liar-nObama did more than any previous president to actively subvert our immigration system.

The Trump administration is unlikely to give up the fight just because a “bipartisan” group of judges ruled against it. President Trump has vowed to do something about immigration since the heady days on the campaign trail in 2015 and 2016. By continuing to push for protected borders and enforcement of perfectly reasonable existing immigration laws, he has exposed the enemies of Liberty for their protections and material support for illegal immigrants at the expense of everyone else.  ~The Patriot Post

Media Editors:  TEAM TRUMP FIGHTS BACK: “The White House plans to fight a subpoena issued by the House Judiciary Committee for former White House counsel Donald McGahn to testify… The Trump administration also plans to oppose other requests from House committees for the testimony of current and former aides about actions in the White House described in special counsel dirty cop-Robert S. Mueller III’s report… White House lawyers plan to tell attorneys for administration witnesses called by the House that they will be asserting executive privilege over their testimony.” (The Washington Post)
.
TAX-RETURN DEADLINE COMES AND GOES: “The Treasury Department on Tuesday missed a second deadline from House Democrats to provide President Trump’s tax returns. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a letter that the department can’t act on the request ‘unless and until it is determined to be consistent with law.’ He said that he expects Treasury to provide the House Ways and Means Committee with a final decision by May 6 after receiving legal conclusions from the Department of Justice.” (The Hill)
.
SCOTUS AMIABLE TOWARD CITIZENSHIP QUESTION: “The U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Tuesday appeared poised to hand President Donald Trump a victory on his administration’s plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. … Conservative justices signaled during arguments in the closely watched case a willingness to overturn a lower court ruling that blocked the question and appeared untroubled by the administration’s stated justification for using the citizenship question in the decennial population count.” (Reuters)
.
ABOUT THAT NEW POLICY ON HOMOSEXUAL LEADERS… “More than 200 individuals have come forward with new allegations of sexual abuse by members of the Boy Scouts of America in recent weeks as a trio of law firms seek to uncover unidentified child abusers. A few of the victims are young, still underage or in their 20s, but many have held their secrets close for decades,”  reports USA Today. “Only a handful of the new allegations are related to previously identified perpetrators. About 90% … are new. … The Scouting organization faces 200 lawsuits that its insurance companies threatened to stop covering.” All told, there may be more than 12,000 victims.
.
STOCK MARKET REGAINS COMPOSURE: “The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rallied on Tuesday to notch record closing highs as Wall Street cheered stronger-than-expected quarterly profits from some of the largest publicly traded U.S. companies. … Tuesday’s move toward an all-time closing high comes less than six months after a sharp decline in late December, which led the S&P 500 to its worst annual performance since 2008.

BURGEONING MIGRATION NUMBERS: According to the Texas Tribune, “Less than seven months into the fiscal year, the number of undocumented immigrants who have been apprehended or turned themselves in to U.S. Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley has already surpassed last year’s total.” The 164,000 illegals arrested just since October is higher than the 2018 aggregate of 162,262. “The increase is the result of an ongoing surge of migrants, most of them from Central America.” Meanwhile, the Washington Examiner reports, “The Mexican government says it has deported 15,000 migrants who illegally entered Mexico from Guatemala and had been traveling as part of caravans in hopes of reaching the United States’ southern border,” though “thousands more people continue to traverse the country intent on reaching the U.S.”

VILLAGE ACADEMIC CURRICULUM: “Beginning in 2020, many Advanced Placement students will be using an American History textbook that suggests President Trump is mentally ill and that depicts him and many of his supporters as racists. The book asserts that ‘[Trump’s] not very-hidden racism connected with a significant number of primary voters.’ What connected with a significant number of primary voters was Trump’s strong opposition to illegal immigration and his concern over terrorists entering the U.S. The textbook effectively characterizes these concerns as ‘not very-hidden racism’ and those who share them as racists. … The textbook goes further. It says that scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton supporters ‘worried about the mental stability of the president-elect.’” (Power Line)

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ A former top FBI official said a repository of scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton's emails was obtained by the scumbag/liar-nObama White House. As part of a court-ordered discovery related to scumbag/liar-Clinton’s unauthorized email server... Bill Priestap was asked by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch to identify representatives of scumbag/liar-Clinton, her State Department staff, and government agencies from which “email repositories were obtained" by the FBI. He divulged a nonexhaustive list, which included the Executive Office of the President. Other people mentioned were former scumbag/liar-Clinton aides Cheryl Mills, Heather Samuelson, Jacob Sullivan, and Justin Cooper, former scumbag/liar-Clinton information technology staffer Bryan Pagliano, the State Department, Secret Service, and Washington-based law firm Williams and Connolly. Priestep answered questions in writing and under oath as part of U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth's ruling earlier this year that discovery could commence examining the former secretary of state’s use of the server, encompassing scumbag/liar-nObama administration senior State Department officials, lawyers, and scumbag/liar-Clinton aides, as well as Priestap. Judicial Watch shared Priestep's recent testimony on Tuesday, at a time when Republican allies of President Trump, as well as the Justice Department and its inspector general, are looking into possible misconduct by top DOJ and FBI officials stemming back to the scumbag/liar-nObama administration to undermine Trump as a candidate and president...

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's investigation is over, but the aftereffects of the Trump-Russia affair live on... One such aftereffect is the reluctance of some important figures in the 2016 campaign to speak out, for fear of continued legal entanglements. Take J.D. Gordon, who served as the Trump campaign's director of national security. Never accused of any wrongdoing, he played a central role in one of the most controversial and least understood episodes of the Trump-Russia matter: the approval of the 2016 GOP platform at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. On July 18, 2016, the Washington Post published a story headlined, "Trump campaign guts GOP's anti-Russia stance on Ukraine." Below a scandalously erroneous headline, the piece reported that the campaign, acting contrary to the views of "almost all Republican foreign policy leaders," killed a proposal that the United States provide lethal aid to Ukraine in its struggle against Russia. Why would the campaign do that? Democrats quickly accused Trump of watering down national security, of selling out Ukraine, to please Russian President Vladimir Putin. It got worse. As a media frenzy built, Trump opponents cited the platform as Exhibit A in their case that the Trump campaign and Russia conspired to influence the 2016 election. As the tale went, the Russians helped Trump, he was in their debt, and he paid them back by supporting weakened U.S. policy toward Ukraine. It was all entirely wrong. If anyone bothered to look into the facts — almost no one did — they would have discovered that the original draft of the GOP platform was quite strong on Russia and Ukraine. Not a word of it was removed. Then a single delegate proposed an amendment that would have added promises of tougher U.S. sanctions on Russia, greater military coordination with NATO, and the provision of "lethal defensive weapons" to Ukraine's armed forces...

Divided Supreme Court Poised

dailycaller.com }  ~ A deeply divided Supreme Court appeared ready to allow the Trump administration to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census form during a Tuesday morning argument... which was alternatively technical and heated. The Court’s divide followed the usual ideological lines. Though the case involves several complex questions, ultimately the Court’s conservatives seemed to say that the citizenship question is ordinary and appropriate for the census. “The principal purpose is to count the population, but we’ve had demographic questions on the census,” Chief Justice John Roberts said. “I don’t know how far back, but certainly it’s quite common.” “The questions go quite beyond how many people there are,” Roberts added, noting the census forms include questions touching finances and lifestyles. A coalition of Democratic cities, states, and civil rights groups sued the Trump administration after Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who supervises the Census Bureau, authorized the inclusion of the citizenship question on the 2020 census form. The plaintiffs, citing the Census Bureau’s own findings, say the question will diminish non-citizen participation. As such, the plaintiffs warn that the government’s move strikes at the very heart of democracy, since population is used to apportion federal funds, seats in Congress, and draw legislative district lines...  https://dailycaller.com/2019/04/23/supreme-court-census-arguments/?utm_medium=email

What’s Wrong with the Democrats’ 
New Health Plan?

forbes.com } ~ Democrats in the House of Representatives have put aside grandiose thoughts of Medicare-for-All and single-payer health insurance – at least for a day or two... Instead, they have introduced a new health plan with a more modest goal: making scumbag/liar-nObamacare work better. It has three elements: Expand health insurance subsidies to everyone. Individuals are currently ineligible for help if they earn $48,560 or more. Create a national reinsurance pool to subsidize insurance companies that incur high costs. Reverse Trump administration regulations that make it easier to obtain limited-benefit insurance. So, what’s wrong with that? For starters, it uses taxpayer dollars to give money to rich people and insurance companies. It also forces healthy families to buy insurance that doesn’t meet their needs for a price that is artificially high. But the worst feature of the plan is that it doesn’t solve scumbag/liar-nObamacare’s most important problem: people with chronic health conditions are unable to see the best doctors and enter the best hospitals. According to Nancy Pulosi, Democrats took back the House because of health care. By one estimate, Democratic candidates spent $90 million on health care ads. And in most cases, the message was simple: people with pre-existing conditions need protection. Protection from what? From Republicans, if you take seriously the Democratic argument that the GOP wants to remove sick people from their hospital beds and throw them out on the sidewalk once their insurance runs out. Once you get past that absurd bugaboo, however, there is a much bigger threat. People with medical problems need protection from scumbag/liar-nObamacare itself...

thenewamerican.com } ~ Bad as the crisis is in the southwest for Customs and Border Protection, it doesn’t seem much better in the towns and cities where illegal aliens hide... once they slip past CBP or or CBP releases them. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has nailed nearly 140 illegals in the last few weeks who were identity thieves, welfare fraudsters, drug traffickers, drunk drivers, and sex fiends. The agency deported a Salvadoran gangbanger wanted back home where he belongs. The upshot? Illegal-alien criminals are working overtime to rob, maim, molest, and kill Americans. On Thursday, ICE reported, federal prosecutors nailed 12 Dominicans on a long list of crimes that involved identity and welfare theft and drug trafficking. “The investigation targeted document and benefit offenders who allegedly used the identities of U.S. citizens from Puerto Rico as their own,” ICE reported. Ten of the criminals were illegal aliens, and six “have criminal records in the names of the victims whose identities they stole.” Among the charges the dozen face are aggravated identity theft and misusing a Social Security number. Nine federal search warrants permitted the seizure of narcotics and bogus IDs. The probe of the 12 began in December. Federal prosecutors say the 12 were using Puerto Rican identities, and that “analysis from this phase of the investigation revealed that many of the wire transfers discovered are believed to be illicit proceeds of narcotics trafficking and/or alien smuggling, with funds wired to areas of concern in Mexico, including Juarez, Sinaloa, Mexico City, and Culiacan, and along with Southwest U.S. border.”...

thedailybeast.com } ~ Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report implicated the Russian government in a widespread campaign of hacking and political disinformation during the 2016 presidential campaign... Russian state media is nonetheless trumpeting the reaction of U.S. conservatives to the report, which found that the Trump campaign was not complicit in those election-meddling efforts, as evidence of a broad anti-Russian conspiracy in the U.S. And it’s using at least one prominent American conservative voice to do so. The Russian government-owned Rossiya 1 news channel recently broadcasted excerpts from Fox News primetime host Sean Hannity’s on-air monologue, which hammered “media hysteria” over the report and allegations of campaign “collusion” with the Russian government. In its own editorializing, Rossiya 1 described the report as “bestseller about the absence of collusion between Trump and Russia,” and blamed the political press and U.S. intelligence agencies for “hounding Trump” over the allegations, according to a translation by journalist and Daily Beast contributor Julia Davis. Though the report found no criminal conspiracy by the Trump campaign or any American to assist in Russian election-meddling efforts, it did confirm reporting that the Trump campaign solicited opposition research on 2016 rival scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton from Russian nationals whom it understood were acting at the behest of that country’s government. dirty cop-Mueller’s report also extensively documents allegedly criminal efforts by Kremlin actors to hack email accounts associated with prominent Democrats and sow political discord through social media disinformation campaigns. In a separate Rossiya 1 segment this week, the channel  described dirty cop-Mueller’s investigation as “an attempt to threaten the current government and influence U.S. foreign policy without offering any specific evidence.”...

Time to Enforce the Law on Visa Overstays

Political Editors:  Democrats and the Leftmedia have often sought to downplay President Donald Trump’s loudly voiced calls to tackle the problem of illegal immigration — specifically his emphasis on securing the southern border — by pivoting to point out that the “bigger” problem is visa overstays. While that is a statistically arguable observation (at least one study found that the number of visa overstays represents a higher percentage of illegal aliens than illegal border crossers do) this response is a disingenuous objection to dealing with the real crisis at the border. Why can’t both problems be addressed? Well, it appears that Trump has decided to do just that, calling the Democrats’ bluff.

On Monday, the president ordered the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to find ways to limit the number of foreigners overstaying their short-term visas. The White House stated that the administration will “find effective ways to combat the rampant number of overstays” that are “undermining the rule of law and straining resources that are needed to address the crisis at our southern border.”

In signing his executive order, Trump stated, “We have laws that need to be followed to keep Americans safe and to protect the integrity of a system where, right now, there are millions of people who are waiting in line to come to America to see the American Dream.” It will be interesting to see how many Democrats object to Trump’s latest order to enforce the law — or what judge will strike it down.  ~The Patriot Post

dailywire.com } ~ The top two Democrats in the House, Speaker Nancy Pulosi (D-CA) and House Majority Leader scumbag-Steny Hoyer (D-MD), have called a time out on impeaching President Donald Trump,.. crushing the dreams of thousands of progressive activists and many of their House colleagues.  Pulosi announced the decision to forgo instituting impeachment proceedings on a call with House leaders Tuesday morning telling 170 Democratic Members of Congress on an insane, 90-minute conference call, that the House will instead focus on investigating the President and let the American people decide what to believe in November of 2020. Fox News reports that Pulosi told her colleagues that "we have to save our democracy." "This isn’t about Democrats or Republicans. It’s about saving our democracy. If it is what we need to do to honor our responsibility to the Constitution – if that’s the place the facts take us, that’s the place we have to go," she added, before claiming that the "facts" simply don't point to removing the President from office quite yet -- but that further investigation could lead there. "We don’t have to go to articles of impeachment to obtain the facts, the presentation of facts.” In a letter released ahead of the call, Pulosi got into greater detail.  “While our views range from proceeding to investigate the findings of the dirty cop-Mueller report or proceeding directly to impeachment, we all firmly agree that we should proceed down a path of finding the truth,” Pulosi wrote to Democratic Members. “It is also important to know that the facts regarding holding the president accountable can be gained outside of impeachment hearings.”... Still can't see the true facts when its in front of them.   https://www.dailywire.com/news/46317/pelosi-hoyer-say-impeachment-table-leaving-emily-zanotti

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ House Oversight Committee Chairman scumbag-Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said Tuesday that Democrats are moving toward holding a former White House personnel security director in contempt... after he refused to answer the panel’s questions. Carl Kline, a former official who oversaw the security clearance process at the White House, was  subpoenaed last week to appear before the committee Tuesday, but his lawyer said he would not appear after the White House directed him not to comply with the subpoena. “The White House and Mr. Kline now stand in open defiance of a duly authorized congressional subpoena with no assertion of any privilege of any kind by President Trump,” scumbag-Cummings said in a statement.“Based on these actions, it appears that the President believes that the Constitution does not apply to his White House, that he may order officials at will to violate their legal obligations, and that he may obstruct attempts by Congress to conduct oversight. It also appears that the White House believes that it may dictate to Congress — an independent and co-equal branch of government — the scope of its investigations and even the rules by which it conducts them,” he said. It’s the latest escalation in a tense standoff between scumbag-Cummings and the president. Trump and his businesses sued scumbag-Cummings on Monday in response to the Democrat subpoenaing Trump’s accounting firm, Mazars USA, in an effort to obtain 10 years of the president’s financial records.

Clark, according to her original sentence, should not have been released before 2056. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo granted her clemency, reducing her sentence by 40 years. Another terrorist, another early out. I recently wrote about the pending releases of John Walker Lindh and Kevin James. Both of those convicted terrorists received approximately 2½ off years their sentences for "good behavior." Terrorists being released from prison is unsettling. Terrorists getting let out early is mind boggling. People who take up arms against the United States should be considered enemy combatants and not common criminals. Clark was a member of the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist organization that had declared war on the United States in 1970, and was responsible for a series of bombings of police departments, government buildings, and military installations...

scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton 
Prosecution Decision
by dailyconservative.com:  scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton still thinks she got off easy, but a bombshell just dropped that could finally end her career. There’s no way she can escape... Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, appeared on SuperTalk 99.7 out of Nashville with host Brian Wilson to reveal that hundreds of FBI documents point to a massive “cover-up” in the scumbag/liar-Clinton email scandal. Fitton pointed to the mislabeling of documents, such as those that were deceptively marked “unclassified” to protect her. His group also obtained an email with the subject “scumbag/liar-Hillary cover-up operation work ticket archive clean-up.” Additionally, Fitton did not hold back the reason why scumbag/liar-Hillary hasn’t been prosecuted yet  — and it’s because of how deep the rabbit hole goes. “People should understand, one the reasons scumbag/liar-Hillary wasn’t prosecuted was because it wasn’t just a scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton scandal, it was a State Department scandal, it was an FBI scandal, it was a Justice Department scandal,” he said. He continued by saying “it was an scumbag/liar-nObama scandal” and “they were all in on it.” Fitton’s group said they’re working hard to get additional documents to continue blowing this case wide open.

Post-dirty cop-Mueller Developments

Tom McLaughlin
{ tommclaughlin.blogspot.com } ~ The dirty cop-Mueller investigation is over. His long-awaited report is out and everyone has had a chance to read it. Despite dirty cop-Mueller saying there was no evidence of collusion or cooperation between the Trump Campaign and Russia during the 2016 election, most on the left still insist there was. Still more insist that President Trump tried to cover up a “crime” that dirty cop-Mueller says never occurred. The only visible change is that fewer Democrats are calling for Trump’s impeachment. Among presidential candidates, only Senator Elizabeth dinky-Warren is.  
evidence.jpg
There’s been a similar reaction in Mainstream Media which had pushed the Trump/Russia collusion narrative hard for more than two years. They seem genuinely disappointed that Mueller found nothing. MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, for example, said on Meet the Press last Sunday: “It the dirty co-Mueller Report described a campaign eager to accept the help of a hostile foreign power: Russia.” Really Chuck? The report itself stated, and I quote: “The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russia Government in its election interference activities.”

Ever since it was called the “Soviet Union,” Russia has tried to interfere with US elections going back nearly a hundred years. The United States interfered with internal politics in the Soviet Union for just as long. Both countries interfered with elections in southeast Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean throughout the Cold War, yet Democrats and media act as if recent Russian interference were something new. In 2016 the scumbag/liar-nObama State Department spent $350,000  in an unsuccessful attempt to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu but Mainstream Media ignored it.

Conservative media outlets claim dirty cop-Mueller should not have accepted appointment as special counsel because there was never evidence of a crime involving the Trump campaign. President Trump and Attorney General Barr now want to investigate how the dirty cop-Mueller investigation started, alleging nefarious activities by the scumbag/liar-Clinton Campaign, the scumbag/liar-Clinton Foundation, as well as the scumbag/liar-nObama FBI, CIA, NSA, and DOJ during and after the 2016 campaign. Evidence for this exists going back three years and includes lying under oath to Congress and FBI officials but got no mention in dirty cop-Mueller Report.

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz has been investigating how scumbag-James Comey’s FBI conducted the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton email scandal, how it investigated the scumbag/liar-Clinton Foundation, how it filed the FBI/DOJ’s FISA application on Carter Page, and the possible interference by the scumbag/liar-nObama Administration in the 2016 election, as well as other subjects. US Attorney John Huber of Utah was appointed special prosecutor for the case and he met with Attorney General William Barr shortly after the latter was confirmed. Horowitz and Huber have played their cards very close to the vest and have been waiting for the dirty cop-Mueller Investigation to conclude before interviewing key witnesses who were also involved with dirty cop-Mueller’s probe.

The Senate Intelligence Committee chaired by North Carolina Senator Richard Burr has also been investigating the 2016 election in a relatively quiet way compared to its House counterpart. So, right now there are two ongoing investigations — DOJ IG Horowitz with US Attorney Huber and US Senate — as well as a possible new one by Attorney General Barr as indicated by his recent congressional testimony. The relatively small conservative media has been reporting for two years on evidence of criminal behavior by former CIA Director scumbag/commie-James Brennan, former FBI Director scumbag-Comey, former Director of National Intelligence scumbag-James Clapper, Former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, and several other former scumbag/liar-nObama Administration officials. Mainstream Media has largely ignored it.

Possible crimes involve lying under oath, misusing the FISA Court, and leaking to the press — but also abuse of power that includes spying on Trump and his associates and unmasking subjects of surveillance during and after the 2016 campaign. Trump’s base is crying for more such investigations while Democrats are indignant. The whole Russia/Trump brouhaha cannot be understood strictly as a Democrat vs Republican issue, nor strictly a right vs left issue either. The divide is more Trump supporters vs Trump haters across the political spectrum and from both parties.

The haters are blinded by emotion. I debate some of them regularly and see their counterparts in politics and media. They know journalistic standards have been dropped in pursuit of Trump but choose to overlook it believing ends — getting rid of him — justify means. Trump supporters recognize his faults but see opposition tactics as far more harmful for our democracy so they rally behind him.

We’ll get a feel over the next few months for how the body politic reacts to these post-dirty cop-Mueller developments. Are people sick of political investigations and just want them all to go away? How will primary voters react to ongoing impeachment preparations by Democrats? As the presidential campaign heats up, will candidates debate these issues?

frontpagemag.com } ~ Representative Ilhan Omar is a Minnesota Democrat who has been in Congress four months and, courtesy of House Speaker Nancy Pulosi, sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee... where she has privileged access to classified American secrets. Omar recently caused a stir – one of many that have made her a focus of national attention - by describing the attack on America on 9/11, as an attack on Muslims. The 9/11 attack - the worst by foreigners on American soil since the British burned the White House in 1814 - was in fact the work of Islamic supremacists engaged in a global jihad or “holy war.” This war had been unilaterally declared on America – “the land of Jews and Crusaders” - by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist army, al-Qaeda three years earlier. Omar’s reference to the tragedy that befell Americans in September 2001 was revealing in itself. She prefaced it by complaining that Muslims in America were “second class citizens” who were denied the civil liberties afforded to other ethnic and religious groups. This was one of many lies in her brief comments. Then she invoked the massacre of 50 Muslims at worship by a deranged individual in New Zealand, while failing to mention the recent Muslim massacre of Filipino Christians at worship or the hundreds of attacks by Muslims on other religions since the beginning of the year. Then she referred to the 9/11 atrocity not as an “attack” but as a non-descript event whose real significance was that it led to the creation of CAIR – the Council on American Islamic Relations - which presents itself as a Muslim civil liberties organization, and on whose platform she was speaking. “CAIR was founded after 9/11,” she said, “because they recognized that some people did something, and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.”  The platform on which Omar made these repulsive claims – all of them false – was an organization created by the Muslim Brotherhood, the fountainhead of the Islamist jihad, and its terrorist offspring Hamas. As it happens the Brotherhood is the crucible doctrines that inspired Osama bin Laden and the terrorists responsible for 9/11. Omar has headlined multiple fund-raising events for CAIR, which is still headed by the same individuals who ran the Hamas entities, from which it was created. Even Omar’s statement that CAIR was created in response to alleged attacks on Muslims after 9/11 is false, since CAIR was created in 1994, seven years earlier. Her statement that all Muslims began losing their civil liberties because of 9/11 is also false – and insulting - since President Bush went out of his way to deny that 9/11 had any Islamic dimension, despite the overwhelming evidence that it did, and to protect the Muslim community from reprisals, which included shipping members of Osama bin Ladens’ family, who should have been interrogated, to the safety of Saudi Arabia for their protection. The number of incidents of Americans taking out their frustration and anger on Muslims at that time or since – if one considers the circumstances - is quite small. According to the FBI, American Jews are five times more likely than Muslims to be the victims of religious hate crimes – many of which have been incited by the poisonous anti-Israel propaganda spread by pro-Islamist groups like the Muslim Students Association and Students for Justice in Palestine, as well as by congresswoman Omar herself...   https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/273538/terrorist-caucus-house-david-horowitz

{dailycaller.com} ~ New York Rep. scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, falsely claimed in an interview on Sunday... that Donald Trump Jr. was offered stolen information in the infamous meeting at Trump Tower in June 2016. “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd failed to correct scumbag liar-Nadler when he made the inaccurate statement. “I do not understand why he didn’t charge Don Jr., and others in that famous meetings with criminal conspiracy,” scumbag liar-Nadler said of special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller in the interview. “They entered into a meeting of the minds to attend a meeting, to get stolen material on scumbag/liar-Hillary. They went to the meeting. That’s conspiracy, right there,” he added. Despite that claim, Trump Jr. was not offered stolen material before accepting the June 9, 2016 meeting.Trump Jr. accepted the meeting after a music publicist named Rob Goldstone emailed him on June 3, 2016 saying that a Russian attorney wanted to meet with the campaign to provide information about former Secretary of State scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s possible ties to Russia. Goldstone said that the lawyer “offered to provide the Trump Campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate scumbag/liar-Hillary and her dealings with Russia.” But nowhere did Goldstone claim that the information about scumbag/liar-Clinton was stolen...

Los Angeles Numbers Show 'Homelessness'

frontpagemag.com } ~ Los Angeles County is glibly decorated with billboards declaring, "Homes End Homelessness. You In?" Except LA's own numbers keep showing that not having a home is a symptom of the problem. Not the problem... The current headline for the story is, "L.A. County’s homeless population is growing — but not as fast as they’re dying". The URL suggests a more realistic and less outrage-driven title. "la-me-ln-homeless-people-death-unsheltered-substance-abuse". Substance abuse is a common theme. Last year alone, 918 people died. And in the last five years, deaths have jumped 76%, outpacing the growth of the homeless population, according to an analysis of county coroner data by Kaiser Health News. So far, health officials and experts have been unable to pinpoint a single cause for the increase, but say rising substance abuse may be a major reason. Substance abuse and mental illness are the causes of most homelessness. That's why trying to offer living space doesn't work. Drugs and alcohol played a direct role in at least a quarter of the deaths of homeless people over the past five years, according to the analysis from the county coroner’s office. The substances also likely contributed to many more deaths, including those whose deaths were related to liver and heart problems. Raymond Thill was just 46 when he died last year of what his wife, Sherry Thill, called complications related to alcoholism. The couple had been homeless for many years before moving into a small apartment in South Los Angeles shortly before his death.  Thill said her husband often drank vodka throughout the day, and had been in and out of the hospital because of liver and other health problems. He tried rehab and she tried taking the alcohol away from him. Nothing worked. “His mind was set,” she said. “So I took care of him.” In the end, Thill said, cirrhosis left her husband jaundiced, swollen and unable to keep food down. These are tragic stories. And they have nothing to do with home availability...

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro’s attempt to stay in power could ultimately drive half the country’s population to seek refuge abroad, according to a key U.S. diplomat... “Very, very, possible 15 million people leave,” Carlos Trujillo, the U.S. ambassador to the Organization of American States, told the Washington Examiner. “Right now, only four million have left, and four million has overwhelmed Colombia, Brazil, Chile, and Peru ... Imagine what eight million does. Imagine what 10 million does. Imagine what 12 million does.” That dire portrait, Trujillo suggested, guarantees that Maduro will not be able to withstand regional pressure to relinquish power. The regime has retained control of the military in the three months since President Trump and other major Western democracies recognized top opposition lawmaker Juan Guaidó as the legitimate interim president. Trujillo dismissed the idea that the momentum to oust Maduro is slowing, even if U.S. officials don’t have a quick-fix plan in place.“Military action is not happening right now, so diplomatic pressure and sanctions take time,” Trujillo said. “It takes time. You don’t feel the economic pinch day one or day two or month one or month two, but month six and seven and eight, when you’ve had a lot of poor spending decisions, those start racking up.” Trump imposed sanctions on Venezuela’s state-run oil company, PdVSA, in January. The administration also blacklisted four companies with vessels that ferry oil from Venezuela to the island regime. The imposition of those sanctions, released last week, is designed to put a crimp in Maduro’s ability to barter oil in exchange for support from the Cuban security services...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/us-diplomat-very-very-possible-half-of-venezuelas-population-flees-maduro-regime?utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_04/23/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News&rid=5261

Earth Day 2019

Publius:  Today is Earth Day, the ecofascists’ favorite day of the year. Here are some excerpts from Mark Alexander’s 2010 essay on the real origin and use of this socialist celebration.

It’s that time of year again — that time when the northern hemisphere will be warming, as it has for millions of years, except during ice ages.

Since most of the world’s industrial capacity and economic wealth is located north of the equator, this means that the now-perennial onset of global warming hysteria is about to sprout into full bloom.

On 22 April 1970, Senator Gaylord Nelson (D-WI) founded “Earth Day” in order to launch an annual “teach in” about conservation and environmental concerns.

Of course, conservation is not a bad word — it even shares the same root word as “conservative.” Indeed, our family makes every effort to use energy and resources wisely. The “waste not, want not” principle is good economic practice.

However, the Left’s motives for “Earth Day” don’t stop at educating folks about conservation and environmental preservation. Those objectives provide cover for a much more sinister purpose — using ecological concern to justify all manner of government regulation and intervention.

It’s no small irony that Nelson founded “Earth Day” on the centenary of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin’s birthday, as it was the impetus for creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Nelson modeled his anti-capitalist protests after anti-Vietnam War demonstrations of that era, and the so-called “environmental movement” he helped spawn has devolved from a pack of unwashed adolescent peaceniks and malcontents into a slick, influential and well funded cadre of Lefty politicos. (This would be the same movement that protested against nuclear energy, which yields no carbon dioxide as a byproduct of energy production.)

Nelson’s cadre has managed, by way of the EPA, to implement an enormous hidden tax burden on the American people — more than a trillion dollars last year — in the form of runaway environmental regulations, which surreptitiously increase the prices of products and services.

And as far as climate change?

Bottom line: Human activity does affect the climate. Every time you exhale CO2, you increase the concentration of that minuscule greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, but if you want to make a positive impact upon the environment, don’t hold your breath. Roll up your sleeves and promote liberty and free enterprise, because, per capita, it is the free nations of the world that have the cleanest environments, and those with Socialist governments that have the worst.  ~The Patriot Post

Medicare Trustees Report Reality-Checks

thefederalist.com } ~ Many of the left’s policy proposals come with the same design flaw: While sounding great on paper, they have little chance of working in practice... Monday brought one such type of reality check to Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and supporters of single-payer health care, in the form of the annual Medicare trustees report. The report once again demonstrates Medicare’s shaky financial standing, as the retirement of 10,000 Baby Boomers every day continues to tax the program’s limited resources. So why would commie-Sanders and Democrats raid this precariously funded program to finance their government takeover of health care? Before even dissecting the report itself, one major caveat worth noting: The trustees report assumes that many of the Medicare payment reductions, and tax increases, included in scumbag/liar-nObamacare can be used “both” to “save Medicare” and fund scumbag/liar-nObamacare. In practice, however, sheer common sense suggests the impossibility of this scenario—as not even the federal government can spend the same dollars twice. The last trustees report prior to these scumbag/liar-nObamacare gimmicks, in 2009, predicted that the Medicare Part A Hospital Insurance Trust Fund would become insolvent in 2017—two years ago. To put it another way, under a more accurate accounting mechanism, Medicare has already become functionally insolvent. scumbag/liar-nObamacare’s accounting gimmicks just allowed politicians including President Trump to continue to ignore Medicare’s funding shortfalls, thus making them worse by failing to act. Even despite the double-counting created by scumbag/liar-nObamacare, the Part A Trust Fund faces significant obstacles. Monday’s report reveals that the trust fund suffered a $1.6 billion loss in 2018. This loss comes on the heels of a total of $132.2 billion in trust fund deficits from 2008 through 2015, as payroll tax revenues dropped dramatically during the Great Recession...  https://thefederalist.com/2019/04/23/medicare-trustees-report-reality-checks-bernie-sanders-socialist-delusions/?utm_source=The+Federalist+List&utm_campaign=d404b7d3fd-RSS_The_Federalist_Daily_Updates_w_Transom&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cfcb868ceb-d404b7d3fd-83771801

dailycaller.com } ~ Presidential hopeful commie-Bernie Sanders revealed on Monday that he believes all Americans over the age of 18 should be given the right to vote... which includes violent felons such as terrorists and rapists on death row. “What our campaign is about, and what I believe, is creating a vibrant democracy,” commie-Sanders said during a CNN town hall. “Today, as you may know, we have one of the lowest voter turnouts of any major country on Earth. I want to see us have one of the highest voter turnouts.” “What we’re seeing is more young people getting involved in the political process, but not enough,” he continued. “In my view, if young people voted at the same percentage that older people voted in this country, we would transform this nation.” commie-Sanders was pressed by Anna Carlstein, a Harvard University student, who questioned comments he previously made urging imprisoned felons to have their voting rights reinstated. She asked if he supports “enfranchising people like the Boston Marathon bomber, a convicted terrorist and murderer” as well as individuals convicted of sexual assault. “As it happens in my own state of Vermont, from the very first days of our state’s history, what our constitution says is that everybody can vote. That is true. So people in jail can vote,” commie-Sanders said. “Now here’s my view: If somebody commits a serious crime — sexual assault, murder — they’re going to be punished... But lose the right to vote and why would they vote anyway.

Spending caps fight exposes

realclearpolicy.com } ~ The Democratic party spent the past eight years blasting Republicans in Congress for their fiscal hypocrisy, and their attacks resonated because they were true... Republicans had criticized President scumbag/liar -nObama in 2009 and 2010 for his profligacy, and then, after taking control of the House, Senate, and White House in successive elections, not only offered no viable path forward, but made the problem worse. Now it’s the Democrats’ turn to show they have no plan matching their rhetoric. They took control of the House in the 2018 mid-term election, but earlier this month party leaders announced they would not write a full-fledged budget because they can’t pass one, no matter its formulation. Republicans would oppose whatever the Democrats would come up with just as the Democrats voted in unison against GOP-crafted budgets, and the Democratic caucus is too divided to get anything through the House on its own. The progressive wing, energized by several new members elected last November, is itching to push for higher spending on scores of initiatives, while moderates in the party are wary of supporting higher spending without offsets. Many Democrats believe tax hikes are necessary but few want to propose them because of their fear of political attacks by Republicans. After dropping plans to write a fiscal blueprint, House Democratic leaders tried to shift toward a more practical, short-term objective, which is to raise the caps on appropriated spending for fiscal years 2020 and 2021. In early 2018, President Trump struck a deal with Congress to raise the caps in 2018 and 2019 by nearly $300 billion, but the caps in place for 2020 and 2021 remain at the levels enacted in the Budget Control Act of 2011, and are far below the funding that was provided over the past two years. The defense and nondefense caps for 2020 are a combined $126 billion below the spending levels allowed for 2019. If the caps are not raised, and the government is funded at current levels, automatic cuts would eliminate the $126 billion breach. But even this less ambitious approach to budget policy is proving to be problematic. The cap proposal drafted by Reps. John Yarmuth and Nita Lowey, chairs of the Budget and Appropriations Committees, respectively, lacks the votes to pass...   https://www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/2019/04/22/spending_caps_fight_exposes_both_parties_weaknesses_111171.html?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTlRnd1lqWTRZemd3WTJWbCIsInQiOiJYZnIzYUYyY29tMUFRUEIxWVZSaEt3SGpUSkFrTjN5OGVVT2ZZUCtVUTlvMGhCYnVzYlwvUHBmUXpLSlpQU244ZGtcLzBPK2Izb0VjMTVKMXE5S2prb0ZXakZrdlhJc2NDVXJUVzBSTkI4cjNPbGxHWDM3TU1GeGFsQmw2THZCeEZtIn0%3D

This explains an evolution from The IRS Files in 2010 to the FISA Files in 2016. The FISA-702 database extraction process, and utilization of the protections within the smaller intelligence community, was the primary process. We start by reviewing the established record from the 99-page FISC opinion rendered by Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer on April 26th, 2017; and explain the details within the FISC opinion. I would strongly urge everyone to read the FISC report because Judge Collyer outlines how the DOJ, which includes the FBI, had an “institutional lack of candor” in responses to the FISA court. In essence, they were continually lying to the court about their activity, and the rate of fourth amendment violations for illegal searches and seizures of U.S. persons’ private information for multiple years. Unfortunately, due to intelligence terminology Judge Collyer’s brief and ruling is not an easy read for anyone unfamiliar with the FISA processes outlined. The complexity also helps the media avoid discussing, and as a result most Americans have no idea the scale and scope of the issues. So we’ll try to break down the language...   https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/04/23/the-obama-use-of-fisa-702-as-a-domestic-political-surveillance-program/

freebeacon.com } ~  Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders's (I., Vt.) foreign policy adviser Matt Duss retweeted an article profiling Mckayla Wilkes, the 28-year-old primary challenge to House Majority Leader scumbag-Steny Hoyer (D., Md.) on Monday morning...  Wilkes told The Intercept she is challenging scumbag-Hoyer because she believes that his tenure in the House of Representatives since 1981 has put him at too far a remove from the American people, and she would like to see more "relatable people" in Congress. "We need someone who will be a voice for us, who knows what we go through as daily constituents, and scumbag-Steny Hoyer has been in office so long he's never really had to be a regular constituent," she said. Wilkes's challenge comes in the wake of a number of Democratic primary upsets, most notably freshman commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D., N.Y.) primary victory over former Chair of the House Democratic Caucus Rep. Joe Crowley (D., N.Y.) in 2018. Upsets like commie-Ocasio-Cortez and fellow freshman Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.) have made some members of the Democratic establishment more cautious about primary challenges: After the 2018 midterms, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced it would cut off any firm that supported primary challengers...   https://freebeacon.com/politics/sanderss-foreign-policy-adviser-retweets-story-about-hoyer-primary-challenger/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=bb7f875fe7-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_19_COPY_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-bb7f875fe7-45611665

Dallas DA Elevates Social Justice Over 
the Rule of Law
Ie_j2Jj0DwcMGgi3zRwr8Z5kvWFMfhEevF8-4NG9hjGz07q7VT80bDqoQFgyH2pU6P-JiGcWdmJRTFeT8Mg329BTop34JaZWXar6t0ukTOwNzRzmsSAXrqdjDsFAqKq_8y8_I5_ZZWkR__h_E08sRP37WvxmAd9wNLqkHMU=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Arnold Ahlert:  In Dallas County, District Attorney John Creuzot has decided Social Justice™ should supersede the Rule of Law. “Criminalizing poverty is counter-productive for our community’s health and safety,” states a letter released by Creuzot. “For that reason, this office will not prosecute theft of personal items less than $750 unless the evidence shows that the alleged theft was for economic gain.”
 

It gets worse. Criminal Trespass also gets a pass because “jail is not a suitable place for the mentally ill and homeless — those most often charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass — whose only crime is not having a place to go.” Driving with a suspended license gets a pass because it’s often about “prosecuting a person for being too poor to pay off their fines and fees.”

Several drug-related charges will be similarly ignored, probation periods will be reduced with no jail time for “technical” violations, and bail will be replaced by “presumption of release” in most cases. Where bail becomes necessary, it “should never be requested by a prosecutor unless there has first been an ability-to-pay determination, and then the amount requested should be based on what a person can afford.”

Creuzot’s rationale for trampling equal protection under the law with class-based exemptions? “The question is, if we put them in jail, are they going to pay restitution? You know what the answer is: No,” Creuzot insists. “So we’ve burned up taxpayer money for a hungry person or a needy person under this fake premise that we’re going to get the money back. And it doesn’t happen.”

How about the real premise that crime requires punishment, not only for justice to be done but to deter more crime?

Dallas Police Association President Mike Mata illuminates the utter nonsense in play here. “I take great offense to saying that poor people just go out and steal,” Mata  stated. “The people that will take advantage of this are the criminal element who will steal, steal, steal from every business until somebody tells them it’s not OK to do it.”

Sheldon Smith, a Dallas Police Department sergeant and president of the National Black Police Association Dallas chapter believes the transparently obvious reality that mom-and-pop stores will become targets for those who know they can game the system with impunity. “And so the little store owner, he has no chance of staying in business,” he asserts. And why would they? And who’s hurt in the end? The community’s hurt.“

Business owner Cody Ellison, who has three shops in Dallas’s Bishop Arts District, is potentially on the receiving end of this agenda. "To have the thought of someone being able to come in and steal $750 from us and there be no consequence is unfathomable to me,” Ellison stated. “They say essentials. For us, essentials are clothing. People have to have clothing.”

April Gonzales, who owns a medical-clothing store was equally blunt. “The first thing that came to mind is like, great, now Dallas County is going to be a free-for-all.”

Gonzales knows what she’s talking about. Her business has been hit by both shoplifters and armed robbers so many times that she has multiple security cameras in her shop and a handgun for personal protection.

Apparently some of the blowback led Creuzot to “clarify” his policy. “Maybe I should say consumption items,” he said. “Maybe we should have put that word in there. We’re talking about food and formula that people need to live. Maybe I didn’t put enough words in when I said personal items. Maybe I should have said personal consumption items.”

Maybe Creuzot should make an official list of which “personal consumption items” are permissible to steal. Or publish an income threshold below which the presumption of need — and the right to steal — becomes automatic.

Maybe Creuzot should also explain why the state’s welfare programs are an insufficient deterrent to lawlessness, or how repeat offenders can be determined by a policy that will undoubtedly engender non-arrests by cops knowing such efforts will be in vain, allowing those repeat offenders to avoid building a criminal record.

Yet cluelessness persists. Jason Roberts, owner of AJ Vagabonds in the same Bishop Arts district, support the DA’s policy. “I would hate to have the worst thing you’ve done be the flag for who you are as a human being for the rest of your life,” he declared.

How Roberts knows what the “worst thing” a particular individual has done is anyone’s guess. Perhaps he and other supporters of this policy could reveal how many thefts they’re willing to tolerate for the “greater good” of preserving the “dignity” of a thief.

Ellison sees the writing on the lawless wall. “People are going to become more and more confident with stealing, opening a floodgate for more and more theft in the future,” he said. “If it grows, there will be no more small business owners.”

Mata also sees the downside with regard to shop owners who refuse to abide such insanity. “Either that shop owner is going to have to take matters in his own hands, or he’s going to have to let $600 worth of merchandise walk out of his store,” Mata said. “And so that might force him to get engaged into an altercation that he shouldn’t.”

Would Creuzot prosecute the shop owner to the fullest extent of the law?

Not every law-enforcement official is on board. DeSoto Police Chief Joseph Costa stated his office would not comply with policies that don’t accord with state law. He further warned the DeSoto Municipal Court would take cases Creuzot rejects to “keep the city of DeSoto safe and secure.”

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott also hammered Creuzot’s policy, stating the Attorney General was embracing “wealth redistribution by theft.” When a tweet countered Abbott’s assertion, he doubled-down. “You and others reveal that STEALING is ok when people want things. … That’s socialism,” Abbott stated, adding that Texas offers government programs to help the poor.

Socialism? Anarchy is more like it, and if Abbott is truly concerned, he should make every legal effort possible to remove Creuzot.

In the meantime, the DA remains unbowed. “It doesn’t make sense to clog up our jails with people who are not a danger to society,” Creuzot said in a written statement. “We need to focus on criminals who are a threat to our communities and individuals who commit thefts for economic gain.”

No, what doesn’t make sense is deliberately and very publicly turning a blind eye to law-breaking because it doesn’t align with a bankrupt “progressive” worldview. One in which the words “victim” and “perpetrator” are interchangeable, as long as “need” is part of the equation.

If Creuzot wants to change Texas state law, “then he can run for a legislative office and change it in Austin for the whole greater good of the state of Texas,” Mata explains. “I think you get on a very, very slippery slope when you start to legislate from the bench.”

Slippery Slope? A Marxist-inspired cliff is more like it. One where each business owner “gives” according to his ability, to each perpetrator, according to his “needs.”  ~The Patriot Post

Media Editors:  VISA-ABUSE CLAMPDOWN: “The Trump administration is considering suspending or limiting entry of nationals from countries with high rates of visa overstays as it seeks to clamp down on illegal immigration. President Trump signed a memo on Monday giving the State and Homeland Security departments 120 days to come up with measures to tackle the problem. ‘We have laws that need to be followed to keep Americans safe and to protect the integrity of a system where, right now, there are millions of people who are waiting in line to come to America to seek the American Dream,’ Trump said.” (Washington Examiner)
.
IMPEACHMENT EXPECTATIONS: According to The Hill, “Sen. lowlife-Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) said Monday that the House should take steps toward impeaching President Trump,” which follows an identical recommendation from Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren. But the Associated Press adds, “House Speaker Nancy Pulosi urged divided Democrats to focus on fact-finding rather than the prospect of any impeachment proceedings.”
.
ENTITLEMENT TROUBLES: “Trustees for the Social Security and Medicare programs on Monday announced that the long-term deficit facing the programs was a staggering $59 trillion. As the retirement age population expands relative to the working-age population in the coming decades and the cost of healthcare explodes, the two programs will eat up a growing amount of government resources unless there are significant changes. … [The estimates] could be optimistic, because, according to the trustees, ‘the Medicare projections shown here could be substantially understated as a result of other potentially unsustainable elements of current law.’” (Washington Examiner)

NEW YORK’S GREEN NEW STEAL: “Mayor jerk-Bill de Blasio marked Earth Day by outlining measures to make New York greener Monday, including dramatically cutting the carbon footprint of the city’s signature building, the skyscraper. ‘We’re going to ban the classic glass and steel skyscrapers, which are incredibly inefficient,’ he told MSNBC television. The New York version of the ‘Green New Deal’ currently being pushed by freshmen Democratic members of Congress would make buildings of more than 25,000 square feet (2,300 square meters) cut their emissions by 40 percent by 2030, compared with 2005 levels. The Democratic mayor said that those who fail to meet the new environmental standards could face fines of more than a million dollars, in the case of larger buildings.” (Agence France-Presse)

VACCINE FIGHT: “A New York City judge has dismissed a complaint from parents who objected to the city’s emergency vaccine order meant to immediately curb a dangerous measles epidemic threatening the city’s vulnerable. … NBC News reports that, as of Sunday, Brooklyn doctors have counted an astounding 626 cases of measles, more than the number of cases reported in the entire year 2014, when the city suffered a measles outbreak.” (The Daily Wire)
.
FUND THE DEBT! “Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren wants to use taxpayer money to ‘cancel’ hundreds of billions of dollars in student-loan debt and offer debt-free college for millions more, which would cost $1.25 trillion over the next decade. … The senator … also proposes using $50 billion in taxpayer funds for historically black colleges and universities, known as HBCUs. And she wants to ‘prohibit public colleges from considering citizenship status’ when making admissions decisions. In addition, dinky-Warren wants to phase out federal money that now goes to for-profit schools.” (The Daily Wire)
.
LANDMARK DISCRIMINATION CASE: “In a watershed moment for LGBT-rights advocates, the Supreme Court has agreed to take up three cases involving LGBT individuals who claim they were fired from their jobs because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The court will decide whether Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which bans discrimination by employers based on ‘sex,’ also prohibits discrimination based on the sexual orientation and gender identity of workers. The cases are the first to test the bent of the new, conservative-leaning Court on LGBT issues.” (National Review)

ENABLING BAD BEHAVIOR: “Starbucks’ efforts to address opioid use and improperly disposed needles in its bathrooms are expanding. Starbucks stores in at least 25 US markets have installed needle-disposal boxes in bathrooms in recent months. By this summer, the chain aims to have installed sharps boxes in bathrooms in all regions where such action has been deemed necessary. … The company … faced at least one government investigation related to the issue in 2018 after two employees in a Eugene, Oregon, location were stuck with hypodermic needles within a month of each other.” (Business Insider)

"The Special Counsel's report, even in redacted form, outlines substantial evidence that President Trump engaged in obstruction and other abuses,” scumbag liar-Nadler said in a statement. “It now falls to Congress to determine for itself the full scope of the misconduct and to decide what steps to take in the exercise of our duties of oversight, legislation and constitutional accountability.”A redacted version of dirty cop-Mueller’s report was released Thursday and determined that neither the Trump campaign nor other Americans colluded with the Kremlin during the 2016 election. However, it did not clear Trump of obstruction of justice and detailed 10 instances of possible obstruction. “Mr. McGahn is a critical witness to many of the alleged instances of obstruction of justice and other misconduct described in the dirty cop-Mueller report,” scumbag liar-Nadler said. “His testimony will help shed further light on the President's attacks on the rule of law, and his attempts to cover up those actions by lying to the American people and requesting others do the same.” In an interview Sunday, scumbag liar-Nadler said McGahn’s testimony was essential to help Congress determine whether Trump attempted to obstruct justice when he requested McGahn fire dity cop-Mueller. scumjbag liar-Nadler demanded McGahn provide the documents to the panel by May 7 and appear before the committee to provide testimony on May 21. They will lie and cheat to get what they want.

Repeatedly, the investigative unit references their mandate based around the Steele Dossier, and the mid-summer 2016 origin of the FBI counterintelligence operation. Why?

In early 2016 Rogers caught on to a massive and pre-existing weaponization of government surveillance and the use of collected NSA metadata for political spy operations. Everything, that comes AFTER March 2016 is one big blanket cover-up operation….. ALL OF IT. The Russian election interference narrative; the use of Joseph Mifsud, Stefan Halper, the London and Australian embassy personnel; Erika Thompson, Alexander Downer, U.S. DIA officials; everything around Crossfire Hurricane; and everything after to include the construct of the Steele Dossier; all of it was needed for the creation of an ‘after-the-fact‘ plausible justification to cover-up what Mike Rogers discovered in early 2016, AND the downstream unmasked records that existed in the scumbag/liar-nObama White House SCIF...  https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/04/22/spygate-and-the-steele-dossier-were-the-cover-story-the-real-issue-is-years-of-obama-era-surveillance-and-political-spy-operations/

City of Philadelphia, the court upheld a city policy that prevents Catholic Social Services from finding families for foster children, according to a press release from Becket Law. In 2018, the city of Philadelphia made an urgent call for more foster parents to help the "nearly 6,000 children and youth" in foster care in the city. Despite being a top-ranked foster agency, Catholic Social Services was not allowed to place more children with families. A week after making the call for more foster parents, Philadelphia stopped referring children to Catholic Social Services and then threatened to terminate its contract with the organization if it did not give up its religious beliefs about marriage.

jpost.com } ~ The PLO Central Council (PCC) will convene in Ramallah on May 15 to discuss suspending all relations with Israel... including security coordination between Palestinian Authority security forces and the IDF in the West Bank. PA President Mahmoud Abbas is scheduled to visit several European Union, Arab and Islamic countries before the meeting to brief leaders on the decisions the Palestinians are planning to take ahead of the announcement of US President Donald Trump’s plan for peace in the Middle East, also known as the “deal of the century.”  Abbas will also seek worldwide support for Palestinian opposition to Trump’s upcoming plan, a senior PA official told The Jerusalem Post. On the eve of the PCC meeting, Abbas will also hold meetings with several Palestinian officials to discuss future steps by the Palestinian leadership, the official added. In a speech before Arab League foreign ministers in Cairo on Sunday, Abbas hinted that the PA was considering rescinding all signed agreements with Israel. Abbas accused Israel of failing to implement the agreements, including the Oslo Accords, and said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “does not believe in peace between us.” The upcoming meeting will focus on Trump’s plan and Israeli measures against the Palestinians, especially the decision to deduct from tax and tariff revenues Israel collects on behalf of the Palestinians, those payments made by the PA to families of prisoners and “martyrs,” the official said. The PCC is a key decision-making body belonging to the Palestine National Council (PNC), the PLO’s legislative body responsible for formulating its policies...   https://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/PLO-to-discuss-revoking-Israel-recognition-ending-security-coordination-587611

Dems & Leftmedia Desperate to Save 
Anti-Trump Narrative

Thomas Gallatin:  One of the biggest problems with a lie is its nature to breed more lies. This reality has been on full display following the release of dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report. With Attorney General William Barr’s original four-page executive summary of the report, which accurately summarized dirty cop-Mueller’s conclusion that there was no evidence of any Trump/Russia collusion while leaving undecided the question of whether Trump obstructed the investigation, Democrats quickly cried foul and demanded to see the full report, claiming that Barr was hiding something.
 

The first big lie, propagated by the fallacious and salacious Christopher Steele anti-Trump dossier (paid for by scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s campaign), was that President Donald Trump colluded with the Russian to win the election. Remember it was the Leftmedia that first published the Steele dossier without ever verifying its credibility, helping to foment the collusion narrative. Conveniently, only now is The New York Times willing to throw out the dossier as complete junk. It served its purpose, effectively allowing the Leftmedia and Democrats to throw enough shade on Trump to justify the demands for a special investigation.

Then for two years, Democrats and their Leftmedia cohorts preached incessantly that dirty cop-Mueller was about to unearth evidence of Trump’s nefarious Russian connections. However, as it became increasingly apparent that there was no evidence to support the collusion narrative, Democrats pivoted and moved the goalposts, claiming that Trump was guilty of obstruction of justice due to his loud and repeated objections to dirty cop-Mueller’s “witch hunt.” Big lie number two.

Last Thursday, as he promised, Barr released dirty cop-Mueller’s full report, with the appropriate redactions. And it quickly became apparent that Democrat claims that Barr was hiding damning information were completely unfounded and untrue. Barr’s executive summary was entirely accurate, and yet, due to the redactions, the Democrats continued to lob their vacuous assertions of Barr stumping for Trump. Furthermore, the fact that dirty cop-Mueller was inconclusive on the question of whether Trump engaged in any obstruction of justice was “evidence” enough for Democrats to double down on their “obstruction” narrative. House Democrats are calling for more investigations into the “damning evidence.” Big lie number three.

Once again, the Democrat and Leftmedia aim could not be more clear: Do everything possible to paint a false narrative as credible in their effort to convince the American people that Trump should not be in office. This is a classic demonstration in dirty politics. By begging the question of Trump’s guilt, Democrats and the Leftmedia feel free to foment any false and misleading narrative against him. The reality is Democrats are only serving to expose the depth of their desperation to discredit a duly elected president.  ~The Patriot Post

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ The Steele dossier, that collection of incendiary allegations against Donald Trump compiled for the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign by the former British spy Christopher Steele... was already widely discredited before the release of the dirty cop-Mueller report. Now, the report has hammered a few additional nails in the dossier's coffin. dirty cop-Mueller's work "underscored what had grown clearer for months," the New York Times reported recently, "that while many Trump aides had welcomed contacts with the Russians, some of the most sensational claims in the dossier appeared to be false, and others were impossible to prove." dirty cop-Mueller, the Times noted, included a number of references to the dossier's allegations, "but no overall assessment of why so much did not check out." The dossier alleged a massive, long-running conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, complete with money, politics, and sex. Among its most sensational charges: The allegation that in 2013, in a Moscow hotel room, Trump watched as prostitutes performed a "golden showers" show on a bed in which former President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama had once slept, while Russian spy cameras recorded the whole thing. The allegation that the head of Rosneft, the giant Russian state-owned oil and gas company, offered low-level Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page billions of dollars in return for ending U.S. sanctions against Russia. The allegation that in August 2016 Trump fixer Michael Cohen met Russian officials in Prague to arrange secret payments to Russian hackers who attacked the scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign. The allegation that short-term Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort managed a "well-developed conspiracy of co-operation between the campaign and the Russian leadership," including "an intelligence exchange that had been running between them for at least eight years," and that Manafort was succeeded in that job by Cohen after Manafort left the campaign. None of Steele's charges were confirmed in the dirty cop-Mueller report. Some were specifically debunked. Others were ignored. In short, the report's release was not good news for Christopher Steele...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/byron-york-for-some-dems-breaking-up-with-dossier-is-hard-to-do?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_04/22/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief&rid=5261   

Trump HUGGED Mike Flynn after forcing him to resign for lying about his Russia contacts –

dailymail.co.uk } ~  When President Donald Trump forced out National Security Advisor Michael Flynn for lying about his Russia contacts, he sent him off with a promise of a positive recommendation – and a hug...  The physical embrace from a president known to be a bit of a germaphobe is one of many details about the eventful first month of Trump's term in office and reverberations that drew detailed scrutiny of the dirty cop-Mueller probe. Prosecutors dropped the detail into the 448-page dirty cop-Mueller report, and cited interviews with Flynn and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.  Priebus delivered the bad news to Flynn on February 13, 2017, less than a month into Trump's presidency, after it was revealed that he met with Russia's then-ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak during the transition, discussed sanctions, and lied about it to Vice President Mike Pence and the FBI. After being told he had to go, Flynn told Priebus he wanted to say goodbye to the president. 'Priebus recalled that the President hugged Flynn, shook his hand, and said, "We'll give you a good recommendation. You're a good guy. We'll take care of you,' according to the report.  The pledge came despite Trump firing Flynn over issues of 'trust,' according to the report...

Drug Cartel Violence Escalates 
at U.S.-Mexico Border

by patrioticfreedomfighter.com:  Drug cartel violence flared up again in April as the death toll in Ciudad Juárez recently struck 79 across the border from El Paso, Texas... Execution-style murders are again rampant in the area once dubbed the most violent city in the world. Multiple cartel victims were discovered with their hands and feet bound, with 9mm bullet casings littering the ground. In October 2018, Mexico deployed military patrols to the area after local police were reportedly the subject of 10 drug cartel attack squads. The violence left two officers dead and numerous others severely wounded. The escalation of cartel violence has continued to rise, and in July 2018, Americans were advised not to travel the short distance across the border. Companies employing U.S. personnel were forced to tell employees not to come to work as cartels terrorized the region. Juárez is again embroiled in a bloody drug cartel turf war for control of the border town that offers direct access into the U.S. through El Paso. Despite ridiculous cries from Democrats to tear down the wall impeding drug cartels from free mobility into El Paso, the homicide rate on the American side of the U.S.-Mexico border has also risen. El Paso had a long history as one of the most murder-prone cities per capita. In 1980, El Paso reportedly suffered 54 homicides and 56 at its 1993 peak. That prompted Border Patrol agents to literally form a line by placing vehicles 50 yards off the U.S.-Mexico border to monitor the trafficking and illegal immigration. Although these efforts and an 18-foot fence built in 2008 helped to curb the murder rate in El Paso, the numbers began to spike again in 2017 and 2018 as another gruesome cartel war escalated. President Donald Trump has already diverted billions to construct a superior border wall to reduce illegal activity and keep violent cartel and gang members at bay. All across the Mexico side of the border, cartels are ferociously engaging police in shootouts. It appears to be a deadly fight for supremacy between the legitimate government and wealthy drug lords who possess boots-on-the-ground power. Approximately 40 miles south of Laredo, Texas, Mexican authorities recently set up a roadblock along a well-known drug route. Members of Cartel Del Noreste, a faction of the powerful Los Zetas, ignored civil police and blew through the barricade. After authorities gave chase, the criminals stopped 20 miles later in the town of Lampazos...   https://www.patrioticfreedomfighter.com/2019/04/18/drug-cartel-violence-escalates-at-u-s-mexico-border/

Scuttlebutt that Megyn Kelly wants a
comeback leads to question, could
Fox News take her back?

bizpacreview.com } ~  Cable news personality Megyn Kelly is not ready for retirement apparently. Eddie Scarry of the Washington Examiner reports... “Megyn Kelly and people close to her are putting out word that she’s ready to get back into the news business, six months after she was fired from NBC for low ratings and a really stupid controversy.” In January of this year, NBC and Kelly reached a separation agreement that essentially deposited a tidy $69-million severance into her bank account. Clearly, the news anchor does not need to find a position to pay her bills. Kelly had been a shining star for Fox News for many years up until 2017. At that time, her Fox contract was expiring so she shopped around and was able to leverage a huge new deal with NBC. Although she is a declared political independent, progressives clearly associated Kelly with Fox News and tagged her with a conservative perspective that she was not able to shake. Not a positive development when the paychecks come from a network firmly committed to leftist propaganda. Criticism of her NBC work quickly grew and her viewership deflated. The opportunity presented itself for the network to part ways with Kelly when she naively commented that children should be allowed to wear “blackface” or “whiteface” costumes for Halloween. She was immediately removed from the air. It’s uncertain where the best fit on TV would be for Kelly today. Before leaving Fox, she found herself the object of scorn by supporters of Donald Trump for some comments she made about their candidate, and that Trump himself took issue with, firing back at her as he is known to do. If there was actually such a thing as a middle-of-the-road, politically neutral news outlet, she might potentially draw more viewers there than critics. But no such network exists today... Would Fox News do that?

Christians Persecuted by Islamists Worldwide
AebmxSi9mp-Ez_GH5IdQOomrVAuhr51-lvTjrAexNX_jmzXxDsspM55pLIciKQip5GXd11iP_GyzwM8H99dwbMCMtRIrzyC9Qe0jwsoJ3WL82yLwTju5vpr09avzwBzBDSzGmmcD9U04QwwgDayCZ96qckqKgrE6SopTng0=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Nate Jackson:  As worshippers gathered at three churches in separate cities in Sri Lanka to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the most holy day of the Christian calendar, several radical Islamist suicide bombers sent many Christians to meet their risen Savior. In a very profound sense, we take comfort in knowing those souls received a beautiful and eternal reward after they suffered for their faithfulness — just as Christ warned his followers would happen. Another three attacks were perpetrated at Sri Lankan hotels, along with another at a banquet hall, and still another at a home raided by police. A van detonated Monday outside one of the churches, as police attempted to defuse several bombs. All told, at least 290 people were murdered in these coordinated attacks, including several Americans, and more than 500 were wounded and now must deal with their injuries and grief.

As for the Islamofascist bombers who thought they’d receive their reward and 72 virgins … well, let’s just say they’re experiencing something else this morning.

Compounding the tragedy, the Associated Press reports, “Sri Lankan officials failed to heed warnings from intelligence agencies about the threat of an attack by a domestic radical Muslim group that officials blame for Easter Sunday bombings which killed more than 200 people, the country’s health minister said Monday. The coordinated bombings that ripped through churches and luxury hotels were carried out by seven suicide bombers from a militant group named National Thowfeek Jamaath, Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne said.”

It shouldn’t be surprising that so many in the West are refusing to focus on what this is — a radical Islamist attack primarily on Christians. Instead we get bromides about “Easter worshippers” from the likes of Barack scumbag/liar-nObama and scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton. When attacks are perpetrated by other ideologues (white supremacists) or target other particular victims (homosexuals), these same folks play up the identity elements. Not so with Christian victims, despite the fact that Christians are far more persecuted around the world than virtually any other group.

In fact, hundreds upon hundreds of Christians have been murdered for their faith already this year in attacks around the world. But with the Leftmedia avoiding reporting most of these deaths, and with prominent leftists avoiding even the word “Christian” — especially when the perpetrators are adherents to the Religion of Peace™ — one could be forgiven for getting the sense that Christians just aren’t a favored victim group. Jesus did say, “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.”

We in our humble shop offer our prayers for the loved ones of the victims, many of whom are our brothers and sisters in the faith.

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Veteran journalist Bob Woodward said Sunday he recently learned the unverified Trump dossier appeared in an early draft of a U.S. intelligence community assessment on Russian election interference... During a discussion on "Fox News Sunday," Woodward suggested its inclusion was at the behest of the Central Intelligence Agency, but it was ultimately taken out after being reviewed by intelligence experts. "What I found out recently, which was really quite surprising, the dossier, which really is got a lot of garbage in it and dirty cop-Mueller found that to be the case, early in building the intelligence community assessment on Russian interference in an early draft, they actually put the dossier on page two in kind of a breakout box," Woodward said in a panel moderated by host Chris Wallace. "I think it was the CIA pushing this," he added. "Real intelligence experts looked at this and said no, this is not intelligence, this is garbage and they took it out. But in this process the idea that they would include something like that in one of the great stellar intelligence assessments as dirty cop-Mueller also found out is highly questionable. Needs to be investigated." Woodward's suggestion that the CIA was pushing for the inclusion of the dossier in the intelligence assessment comes nearly a month after Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he was told former CIA Director scumbag/commie-John Brennan "insisted" the dossier be included in the report. "BREAKING: A high-level source tells me it was scumbag/commie-Brennan who insisted that the unverified and fake Steele dossier be included in the Intelligence Report ... scumbag/commie-Brennan should be asked to testify under oath in Congress ASAP," Paul tweeted...

{spectator.org} ~ The Democrats, the media, and their sympathizers around the world were so sure that Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report would quickly end Donald Trump’s presidency that they are still in denial that it won’t... scumbag/liar-nObama’s director of national intelligence, scumbag-James Clapper, coined a new oxymoron by insisting there was “passive collusion” between Trump and the Russians. House Intelligence Committee Chairman scumbag-Adam Schiff still insists that evidence of collusion is still in plain sight and Rachel Maddow is still in tears. None of the facts will deter the Democrats from investigating and trying to impeach Trump because their Trump hatred is so deep and so emotional that it has become a fanaticism that wipes everything else off the political slate. Winston Churchill once said that a fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject. The Democrats and the media if you’ll pardon the redundancy meet that definition perfectly. They are so swept up in their hatred of Donald Trump that, even after the dirty cop-Mueller report gave no grounds for it, more and more of them are calling for more investigations of everything connected to Trump and some are already calling for his impeachment. Our nation has several real crises the Dems choose not to deal with. About one hundred thousand illegal immigrants are coming in every month. That’s a million and a quarter a year. Even scumbag/liar-nObama’s secretary of Homeland Security, Jeh Johnson, admits it’s a national emergency. Americans are still fighting and dying in Afghanistan and Iraq to no avail. States are unprepared for the next round of election interference by the Russians, Chinese and others which is going to make what the Russians did in 2016 seem trivial...   https://spectator.org/the-democrats-fanaticism/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=a821c0ebd1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_22_04_29&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-a821c0ebd1-104608113

thefederalist.com } ~ Let’s place ourselves, for a moment, into the mindset of a statist. If you and your cronies wanted to control everybody’s lives, how exactly would you go about getting such raw power?... Obviously, you wouldn’t come right out and say you have a special project designed specifically to cement a permanent one-party state. You wouldn’t explain, full disclosure, that the ever-growing bureaucracy you have in mind would promote a surveillance state and coercion that produces toxic levels of social distrust. You wouldn’t clarify that the point is to keep tabs on everyone in every aspect of their lives, including their education, their businesses, their medicine, their housing, their families, and their churches. No, of course not. You would mask your self-supremacist intentions with a benign and trendy word like “equality.” You’d pretend that your project was about helping a vulnerable minority. To prevent scrutiny, you’d quickly shame anybody who had a question about it and defame them as haters. At the same time, you’d give special favors to those who can be persuaded to support your con job. That’s usually how such things are done, as the history of authoritarian systems proves. So we have the “Equality” Act, recently introduced by Democrats in Congress. It’s currently being considered in various committee hearings and is on track for a floor vote in the House of Representatives later this spring or early this summer. On the surface, the “Equality” Act is supposed to protect LGBT folks from discrimination by adding the categories of sexual orientation and gender identity to all federal civil rights laws, including the 1964 Civil Rights Act. It would make claims of discrimination related to these characteristics legally actionable in the way racism is, and aapplying to virtually every area of life: the workplace, education, banking, jury service, federal funding, housing, medicine and psychiatry, and all public facilities...

{spectator.org} ~ Florida, a leader in school choice, is addressing the bullying epidemic in the Sunshine State’s public schools by allowing parents to transfer their children to safer schools... Evidence shows bullying is the number-one disciplinary problem in public schools, with more than six million kids affected annually. Furthermore, federal statistics indicate approximately 945,000 of bullied students likely missed school at least once in the past month because they were too afraid to attend. In 2018, Florida implemented the Hope Scholarship program, which provides financial assistance to families of children who have been bullied so they can transfer to safer schools. When it was passed, the Hope Scholarship program was the first of its kind nationally. In 2019, Colorado and Kansas are considering similar programs, in the form of Child Safety Accounts. Under the Hope program, parents can transfer their child to another public school or apply for a scholarship to an eligible private school if their child has been bullied or physically attacked in public school. The state funds the scholarships through voluntary contributions from automobile purchases. Some school choice opponents claim the Hope Scholarship program is an invitation to rip off taxpayers for an extra school subsidy. However, the scholarship’s current maximum value of $7,111 is less than 78 percent of the amount spent per public school student. In other words, the subsidy would be greater if the bullied student stayed in the public school, not the other way around...   https://spectator.org/parents-should-be-able-to-put-kids-in-safe-schools/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=a821c0ebd1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_22_04_29&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-a821c0ebd1-104608113

Dems' Rejection of dirty cop-Mueller's 
Exoneration of Trump Endangers our Republic
by Karin McQuillan

americanthinker.com } ~ Old pols like Pulosi and scumbag-Schumer and loose lips-Biden surely knew the accusations that President Trump was a traitor, working hand in glove with Putin, were absurd and unfounded...
 In throwing their lot in with those accusing Donald Trump of being a traitor, they betrayed their country, their voters, the rule of law, and the foundations of our republican form of government. Their rejection of the dirty cop-Mueller exoneration was fore-ordained. They cannot and will not return to normal politics. The information that the Russia collusion investigation was based on Team scumbag/liar-Hillary’s oppo research was soon known. We quickly learned that scumbag-Comey hid that vital information from the FISA court. We learned that the scumbag/liar-Obama DOJ and intelligence agencies went beyond eavesdropping, to blatant entrapment efforts. Revelations on the dirty work of liar-Susan Rice, scumbag-Clapper and scumbag/commie-Brennan, Rosenstein, followed swiftly. Mark Levin, in a must-see take-down of dirty cop-Mueller on Fox and Friends, asks “How can you talk about Russia interfering in our election and ignore the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign, and the DNC, and the senior level FBI that’s been wiped out by their own conduct? How in the world can you do that and not interview Barack scumbag/liar-nObama and liar-Susan Rice and all the rest of them?” Levin’s question, of course, answers itself: the entire Resistance and dirty cop-Mueller investigation has been a cover-up for Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s role in the under-handed campaign to take down President Trump with dirty tricks...

What if we behaved as leftists behave?
by Erik Rush


wnd.com } ~ They label their opponents as racists – one of the most odious things a person can be thought of in America – with absolutely no substantiation for the charge, and they do it unceasingly. When words fail, they violently attack those with whom they disagree. Indeed, they routinely countenance violence yet, in passive-aggressive stance, bleat like helpless, wretched victims when their opponents take the offensive, or even suggest taking the offensive.

In the workplace, they take improper liberties with their subordinates and engage in fraud in order to get their children into high-profile universities. Their captains of industry conspire to corner emerging markets and then scheme to marginalize vast segments of the populace and business interests in order to advance their malignant political agenda, then lie to Congress when questioned about it. They conspire to flood the country with illegal immigrants and emigrés from hostile nations in order to skew elections in their favor and to foment civil unrest.It is quite clear at this point that the political left has determined that the ends justify the means in coalescing their political power. The rule of law, ethics and long-held concepts of fair play have been discarded.

Their leaders are aware that all of the foregoing behavior is merely a strategy: They know that their political opponents don’t merit the charges leveled against them, and that their own followers’ behavior is manifestly antisocial.

Their followers – far left voters and activists – are the true believers, however. They’ve been convinced that pretty much everyone right-of-center are so noxious and dangerous that they must be overcome by any means necessary.

The problem here is that such “true believers” can be marshaled to commit singularly heinous acts ahead of the rise of a regime that would enroll statutory stormtroopers to do its bidding. We’ve seen this occur before in countries that have been subjugated by socialists, and it never ends well. The dehumanization of political opponents inevitably sets the stage for atrocities.

So, let’s examine a purely hypothetical scenario for context: What if conservatives, libertarians and constitutionalists began to operate in the same manner? Meaning that, suppose this segment determined that the ends do indeed justify the means, and that the rule of law, ethics and long-held concepts of fair play should be discarded as a point of prudence, considering that their opponents have done so.

Further, suppose that these people – who do outnumber radical leftists on the order of 15-to-1 – reasoned that since leftists managed to murder, maim and enslave nearly a half-billion people during the last century, and that American leftists are precisely following the playbook of past and present socialist regimes, they probably ought not take any chances.

Suppose these patriots decided, given the above, that militant action ought to remain on the table; that, considering the wholesale infiltration of our government by socialists, Islamists and assorted leftist radicals, we are at war even if our woefully compromised federal government refuses to acknowledge it.

Perhaps such individuals would organize, as some fringe left-wing groups have done. They might begin to engage in counterintelligence operations against openly seditious lawmakers and other operatives, bringing their subversive actions into focus for the general population, which the establishment press obviously will not do.

Perhaps some seasoned former military types of this mindset might organize clandestinely, and prominent leftists would begin to suffer very unfortunate mishaps. Let’s say that these individuals possessed such proficiency that there were seldom signs of foul play and never anyone to perp walk before the eager cameras of the press.

It goes almost without saying that actions even remotely resembling these would be seized upon by the left as having been committed by right-wing extremists. Concerning this question, I would offer up the fact that since those on the left have demonstrated little compunction as regards trying to frame those on the right for violence and hate crimes, right-wing groups would have little trouble dismissing any accusations as potential frame jobs.

Now, leaving aside the ugly atmosphere that this kind of behavior would create and the inherent dangers involved the potential for escalating civil unrest and blowback from law enforcement, for example, the likely result is that those on the left would become far less vocal, less confrontational and less effective. The reason for this is because – as we have seen demonstrated time and again – extreme cowardice is in their nature. They would see the political right going on the offensive giving rise to a more level playing field, and they already know that they cannot compete on a level playing field. The knowledge that their political opponents were now willing to respond in kind to provocation would utterly neutralize the left’s ground game, which would be a decidedly good thing.

It’s probable than none of this will come to pass, however, because conservatives, libertarians and constitutionalists respect the rule of law, ethics and concepts of fair play. We don’t intimidate our opponents into silence, and we do not employ the last resort violence as a first measure, which has served us well.

My only hope is that in the long term, this deportment can survive the machinations of socialists, who clearly do not share these values with us.

{foxnews.com} ~ House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler, D-NY, argued on Sunday that, despite Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller deciding not to charge President Trump with obstruction of justice... he believes there is still plenty of evidence of obstruction by the president. scumbag liar-Nadler, who filed a subpoena Friday for dirty cop-Mueller’s full, unredacted report, said that dirty cop-Mueller only restrained from charging Trump with obstruction of justice because of the longstanding Justice Department opinion that a sitting president can’t be indicted. “dirty cop-Mueller says that although a thorough FBI investigation might very well show evidence of obstruction of justice with the president, ‘we’re not going to do that because of the Department of Justice’s legal opinion that a president, a sitting president, can't be indicted and it would be unfair to lay out the facts justifying an indictment without giving the president the opportunity and a trial to clear his name,’ ”scumbag liar-Nadler said on Sunday during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet The Press.” He added: “Attorney General William Barr misinterpreted that, or misrepresented that I should say, to say they didn't find obstruction. There’s plenty of evidence of obstruction.” scumbag liar-Nadler expects the Justice Department to comply with his committee's subpoena for the full report by May 1...

by Alex Pappas and John Roberts  
{foxnews.com} ~ Lawyers for President Trump on Monday sued to block a subpoena issued by members of Congress that sought the business magnate's financial records... The complaint named Rep. scumbag-Elijah Cummings, the Democratic chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, and Peter Kenny, the chief investigative counsel of the House committee, as its plaintiffs. "We will not allow Congressional Presidential harassment to go unanswered," said Jay Sekulow, counsel to the president. Earlier this month, scumbag-Cummings, D-Md., said the committee would subpoena accounting firm Mazars USA LLC for Trump’s financial information. scumbag-Cummings is seeking annual statements, periodic financial reports and independent auditors reports from Mazars, as well as records of communications with Trump. In seeking the records, scumbag-Cummings has cited the February testimony from former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, who claimed the president inflated or deflated the value of his assets when it would benefit him. Democrats sent a letter to Mazars in March requesting information about how Trump’s financial statements were prepared, but the firm said it could not voluntarily turn over documents unless subpoenaed...   https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-sues-to-block-democrats-subpoena-for-financial-information

by conservativehq.com:  We have been going through the dirty cop-Mueller Report and will have a few more things to say about it as we complete our review and analysis, but first let’s go over what we see as the biggest hole in the Report... The biggest hole is the Report’s utter failure to address the validity of the “predicate” to the entire Trump investigation. Starting with the FISA warrants against Carter Page investigated but never charged with any crime, the George Papadopoulos closed loop of information from the scumbag/liar-nObama intelligence apparatus to Papadopoulos, through Australian Ambassador Alexander Downer and back to the scumbag/liar-nObama FBI, and the false pretenses behind the Trump Tower meeting and the troubling scumbag/liar-Clinton – Democrat connections with the players in that meeting, dirty cop-Mueller’s report delves into none of the phony “predicates” upon which the pre- and post-election actions of the FBI and scumbag/liar-nObama Department of Justice were justified. And this doesn’t even include the Steele Dossier and its salacious and unverified allegations that garnered thousands if not millions of column inches in establishment newspapers, magazines and websites and untold hours of coverage on TV. It’s as if dirty cop-Mueller didn’t want to know whether any of the information that launched the investigation he was overseeing was a set-up or even true. Democrats went nuts when Attorney General William Barr told senators that “I think spying did occur” in the Trump-Russia investigation conducted by among others the Justice Department and the FBI during the 2016 presidential campaign. “The question,” Barr elaborated, “is whether it was adequately predicated.” Because “spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” he explained that he would undertake an internal review, focusing on what the original rationale was for the spying. As our friend, former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew C. McCarthy put it in a column for Fox News...    http://www.conservativehq.com/node/30097

Dem Candidate in PA Special Election Called

by Todd Shepherd
freebeacon.com } ~ The Democratic nominee in a Pennsylvania special election for a U.S. House seat called for a tax increase on the middle class in a video posted online... Marc Friedenberg, a college professor who lost the election for Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District last November, is now hoping to be elected after Republican Representative Tom Marino resigned in January. Marino beat Friedenberg by 32 points in a district that went heavily for President Trump in 2016. "We should be raising taxes on the middle class so that they're paying their fair share," he said in an online video that was posted on his Facebook account in December of 2017. In numerous instances during the video that runs just under three-and-a-half minutes, Friedenberg appears to read off a script."This is an outrageously unfair hit piece that blatantly takes a slip of the tongue in an old video out-of-context to hide the fact that our opponent supports destroying Social Security," said Gregory Minchak with the Friedenberg campaign. "The entire video discusses that to pay for massive tax cuts for billionaires and international conglomerates, Republicans like Fred Keller want to end Social Security as we know it. Unlike his opponent, Marc has consistently called for middle class tax cuts, affordable health insurance, and the saving of Social Security."...

There's No White Privilege,
Only Racial Differences
by Daniel Greenfield 

{sultanknish.blogspot.com} ~ White privilege, the hottest racist idea since cross-burnings at midnight and photos with Farrakhan, is a subject of academic study and media discourse. It’s hard to escape its pernicious message that an entire race is tainted by virtue of its skin color and that the accomplishments of any individual white person are due, not to his or her efforts, but to race, skin color, and a national infrastructure of white supremacism.

But who actually believes in white privilege? 

A recent Pew race relations survey notes that white people are the least likely to believe that being white helps one get ahead in life. Racial activists see such results as proof of white privilege. Only white people, they insist, could be so oblivious to their racial privileges in the face of the oppression of non-whites. Your skin has to be whiter than vanilla not to realize how badly all the oppressed races have it. 

So, who does believe in white privilege? 

According to the survey, the race most likely to believe that white skin gets you ahead in life are Asians. 

72% of Asians surveyed believe that being white provides advantages. They were, by far, the group least likely to accept that being white has no impact on success in life or that it’s actually a disadvantage. 

It’s curious that the single most successful non-white race is so convinced of the benefits of whiteness. 

Asian Americans outperform white Americans on everything from education to income to family status. Census Bureau statistics showed that Asian-American median income was at $78,000 while white median household income was only $62,000. At 3%, Asian unemployment is lower than those of whites. 

Asian-Americans are more likely to have degrees and advanced degrees than white people. They’re also less likely to be divorced, and Asian-American homelessness rates are only a third of those of whites. 

These statistics don’t paint a picture of a downtrodden minority. The attempts to play statistical games to prove otherwise rely on discredited statistical stunts and frantic arm-waving arguments. And yet what does it say that the people most likely to believe in white privilege are better off than white people? 

On the other side of the dial, the race least likely to believe in the incredible power of white privilege are Hispanics. They are only 5% more likely than white people to believe that being white helps you get ahead in life. And they are as likely as white people to believe that being white has no meaningful effect. 

Statistically speaking, Hispanics have lower median income, employment and education rates than white people. Yet they are also the most likely to be skeptical about the incredible power of white privilege. 

These two contrasts show that belief in white privilege has nothing to do with oppression or privilege. 

Asian-Americans and African-Americans have high rates of confidence in white privilege even though statistically the two groups are far apart in median income, education rates and other success metrics. 

It isn’t success or lack of it that leads to a belief in white privilege. It’s racial differences. 

Why are Asian-Americans and African-Americans the most likely to believe in the power of white skin, and why are Hispanics and white people the least likely to believe that it has magical success powers? 

Hispanics may fall below Asian-Americans and whites in income levels, education and success metrics, but they also have the fewest racial differences with white people. Indeed, the entire idea that Hispanics are a separate race is an absurd construct of political correctness. Hispanics see the fewest racial differences with white people and are therefore the least likely to believe in magical white privilege. 

White privilege, like all racist ideas, depends on the ‘otherness’ of a racial group. In this case, whites. 

The races that are most likely to see white people as an ‘other’ are also the most likely to believe that being white confers magical success powers. The belief that being a member of another group confers special success privileges is a common, and not always, harmful stereotype and racial myth. 

Asian-Americans are perceived, by non-Asians, as having a special ability to succeed. This notion has been codified in the Tiger Mom stereotype and even cruder clichés. Jews are also seen as having a special touch. This stereotype doesn’t just exist among Europeans and Americans, it’s also popular in China where books such as 16 Reasons for Jews Getting Wealthy, Know All of the Money-Making Stories of the Talmud, and Secret of Jewish Success: Ten Commandments of Jewish Success make the rounds. 

These books may be misguided, but they view Jewish success through a Confucian lens and recognize that it is rooted in cultural skills. It’s the same reason Chinese academics remain fascinated by the Protestant work ethic. Likewise, Asian-American success springs from discipline and dedication. 

American integration was based on the understanding that cultural skills could be adopted and learned. As Jews and Protestants had both learned from each other. And as the Chinese seek to learn from both. White privilege counters that with the toxic racist idea that success is, by definition, unearned. And that the best way to understand the success of a group is through the lens of racial conspiracy theories. 

Group success isn’t something to imitate. Instead it should be condemned as a racial conspiracy. 

But the same bigoted conspiracy theories that stigmatize white success as a racial conspiracy, can just as easily tar the success stories of Asian-Americans and Jews, both groups whose successes have often been viewed as the products of racial conspiracies, rather than of their dedication and hard work. 

Racial differences make it all too easy to see people of different races as being members of a racial conspiracy. That is what white privilege contends. White privilege borrows the white nationalist slur of a Jewish, conscious or unconscious, racial conspiracy to explain not just Jewish success, but white success. It’s just as racist whether it’s articulated by Peggy McIntosh or Kevin McDonald. The underlying bigoted idea is just as racist whether it’s applied to all white people or only to Jews. 

It’s not just racial differences, but the degree of integration that may also explain the survey’s results. 

African-Americans are only 3% less likely than Asians to believe in the power of whiteness. But nearly a quarter of African-Americans believe that being white has no meaningful impact on success in life while only a fifth of Asian-Americans recognize that fact. Why are African-Americans more likely than Asian-Americans to recognize that whiteness confers no special powers on the average white person?

The answer may be integration. 

Despite the racist conspiracy theories foisted on African-Americans by a radical racist leadership, they are more likely to have spent generations living and working side by side with white Americans. However a majority of Asian-Americans are immigrants, and a majority don’t feel culturally integrated. Most Asian-American immigrants report not feeling like a typical American. And this is the result. 

The belief in white privilege among Asian-Americans in the survey reflects that lack of integration. Like racial differences, national and cultural differences can nurture stereotypes and perceptions of otherness. The conviction that being white helps you succeed doesn’t reflect the experiential reality of Asian-American success, but comes of viewing those they perceive as typical Americans as ‘other’. 

The Pew survey demonstrates that belief in white privilege is not the outcome of oppression, but of misunderstanding, otherness and stereotype. The people most likely to believe that white people have an unfair advantage are not the oppressed, but the groups with the greatest sense of racial difference. 

You are more likely to believe in the power of white privilege if you view white people as being very different, either from your own race, or, if you are a white progressive, from other races. 

The best disinfectant for the white privilege stereotype, as for so many other bad ideas, is sunlight. Unfortunately, academia and the media, instead of countering prejudices, reinforce racial stereotypes and bigoted ideas such as white privilege. And that divides the country further into warring camps. 

Like any other stereotype, white privilege should be denounced. And the racist assumptions underlying it should be exposed in order to educate those who have come to harbor this ugly idea in their hearts.

americanthinker.com } ~ One of the most important questions in the history of the universe is “Why did Jesus have to die?” This is especially the case as we are in the throes of what many are referring to as the “post-truth” era... where “Everybody Wants to Rule Their World.” The late great Oswald Chambers provides one of the best descriptions of why Jesus went to the cross: The Cross of Christ is the revealed truth of God’s judgment on sin…There is nothing in time or eternity more absolutely certain and irrefutable than what Jesus Christ accomplished on the Cross -- He made it possible for the entire human race to be brought back into a right-standing relationship with God. He made redemption the foundation of human life; that is, He made a way for every person to have fellowship with God.  The Cross was not something that happened to Jesus -- He came to die; the Cross was His purpose in coming. He is “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:8). The incarnation of Christ would have no meaning without the Cross. Beware of separating “God was manifested in the flesh…” from “…He made Him… to be sin for us…” (1 Timothy 3:16 ; 2 Corinthians 5:21). The purpose of the incarnation was redemption. One of my favorite scriptures that explains the death of Jesus is near the end of the first chapter of the book of Colossians. Colossians 1:19-20 reads:  For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him [Jesus], and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. In other words, Jesus was, in the words of C.S. Lewis, “The Perfect Penitent.” As Lewis puts it,  We are told that Christ was killed for us, that His death has washed out our sins, and that by dying He disabled death itself. That is the formula. That is Christianity. That is what has to be believed.  Christ dying for our sins is an amazing and necessary act of love and sacrifice, but it is not the end of the matter. Just as important as Christ dying for our sins is His resurrection. The physical resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of Christianity. As Lewis put it, “to preach Christianity meant primarily to preach the Resurrection.”...  https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/understanding_jesus_mission.html

patriotnewsalerts.com } ~ While Democrats continue to try to find something on President Donald Trump in the dirty cop-Mueller report, they’re overlooking a major revelation in the report... The report confirms that the scumbag/liar-nObama administration knew about Russian attempts to meddle in American elections as early as 2014 but “did nothing” to stop it, CNN contributor and former Bush aide Scott Jennings wrote in an op-ed for CNN. Jennings pointed out that scumbag/liar-nObama ignored the Russian efforts to interfere in U.S. elections through online misinformation campaigns and computer hacking. “The dirty cop-Mueller report flatly states that Russia began interfering in American democracy in 2014. Over the next couple of years, the effort blossomed into a robust attempt to interfere in our 2016 presidential election. The scumbag/liar-nObama administration knew this was going on and yet did nothing. In 2016, scumbag/liar-nObama’s National Security Adviser Susan Rice told her staff to “stand down” and “knock it off” as they drew up plans to “strike back” against the Russians, according to an account from Michael Isikoff and David Corn in their book ‘Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump,'” wrote Jennings. That was about all that was done until late December 2016. Before December 2016, scumbag/liar-nObama was working on the Iran deal, for which he needed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s support. Rather than upset Putin, scumbag/liar-nObama appears to have chosen to more or less ignore what the Russians were doing, Jennings argues. This continued during the 2016 election because scumbag/liar-nObama did not want to appear to favor Democratic candidate scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton. The bottom line during that time was the scumbag/liar-nObama administration knew the Russians favored a Trump presidency over a scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton presidency...   https://www.patriotnewsalerts.com/mueller-report-worse-for/

jpost.com } ~ Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah warned top military commanders in a private meeting this week that there will be a war with Israel this summer... and that he may not be around to support them, according to Elijah J. Magnier, a writer for the Kuwaiti Al Rai news. “I may not remain among you for very long; it is possible that the entire first level of leadership could be killed, including myself,” Nasrallah reportedly told the commanders. “Measures and procedures have already been taken to be ready even if this extreme case happens.”  Al Rai is Kuwait's daily newspaper. Surveys by the Washington-based Intermedia group have ranked the paper one among Kuwaiti newspapers. Nasrallah reportedly said that he expects the war to take everybody by surprise, like the 2006 Lebanon War. “Israel can surprise us all like it did in Gaza in 2008 with the objective of removing the threat on its borders once and for all,” Nasrallah stated. “This is what our people should know, and they should from now on be prepared for the worse-case scenario.” According to the report, Hezbollah believes that Israel will evacuate Israeli settlements near the Lebanese border to prevent the possibility of kidnappings. A “knowledgeable source” told Magnier that “this is the first time Sayyed Nasrallah has offered such a bleak perspective, raising the chances of war with Israel from 50/50 to 70/30.” Magnier also claims that Nasrallah believes that other countries, including the USA, the UK and many Arab states could take part in an upcoming conflict...

Things the Media Ignored 
in the dirty cop-Mueller Report
by Clarice Feldman

americanthinker.com } ~ Despite the oceans of pixels, buckets of ink, and hours of  TV and radio coverage respecting the dirty cop-Mueller report, there are two important things underplayed or ignored...
 the ubiquitous nature of Russian interference from 2014 on, which scumbag/liar-nObama ignored, and the real target of the witch hunt -- General Michael Flynn and why. To get there, let’s  first quickly review the pre- and post- report major media coverage. The Ridiculous Press Propagation of the Hoax and Response to the Report. There are countless examples of the media beclowning itself when the left’s dream of a slam-dunk against the president failed. It was like the election night follies all over again. To quote the satirical Babylon Bee: “CNN: ‘God Allowed the dirty cop-Mueller Report to Test Our Unshakable Faith in Collusion’” Here are some examples. CNN’s Jake Tapper indicated it was suspicious that Attorney General William Barr repeated several times that the report found no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. This after his network touted the notion of collusion hundreds of times over the past two years. As my friend Harry Lewis noted, this repetition was “not only fair, but essential to driving home the hostile media’s malice, stupidity, and folly. Barr did that with great economy.” At the Barr presser on the report, CBS’s Paula Reid suggested that the attorney general’s summary was too generous to the president. In particular, she questioned his characterization of the dirty cop-Mueller investigation as “unprecedented”. Barr who is clearly no lightweight, responded, “Is there a precedent for it?” “Well, no,” conceded Reid. “Okay so unprecedented is an accurate description, isn’t it.” ”Yeah,” admitted Reid. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but disgraced NBC anchor Brian Williams is certainly a top contender, comparing Barr to Iraq’s former propaganda minister Baghdad Bob. You might recall Williams was nabbed making up stories about Hurricane Katrina. While most of the media blathered on, caught flatfooted in pushing for years the scumbag/liar-Clinton fable, not all were suckered in... https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/things_the_media_ignored_in_the_mueller_report.html

A Reckoning Is in Store for Democrats

Conrad Black

nationalreview.com } ~ The crisis of the Democrats is becoming more evident each week. Those of us who have been loudly predicting for years that the Russian-collusion argument would be exposed as a defamatory farce, and that the authors of it would eventually pay for it, are bemused at the fallback position of the Trump-haters: that the distinguished attorney general has whitewashed the president in his summary and his decision that there was no obstruction of justice. One of the most entertaining moments of news-watching in many years came last week, when former national intelligence director scumbag-James Clapper said it was “scary” and former FBI director scumbag-Comey said it was “bizarre” to hear Attorney General William Barr say that the Trump campaign had been spied on. It has been obvious for a long time that both these men and former CIA director scumbag/commie-John Brennan lied under oath on a number of occasions, and scumbag-Comey’s complaint last week that “court-ordered surveillance” wasn’t spying is going to get a full assessment when the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) warrants that were the court authorization in this case, and were obtained on the basis of false campaign smears assembled and paid for by the scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign, are judicially considered.  

Given the proportions of the scam that has been perpetrated, the principal actors, including those just named, deserve commendation for the imperishability of their unctuousness. These people seem still to be oblivious to the fact that lying under oath and producing false FISA applications are serious offenses. And some of the congressional Democrats, such as Congressmen scumbag liar-Nadler, scumbag-Swallwill, and scumbag-Schiff the new-millennium version of “Martin, Barton, and Fish,” made infamous by FDR in 1940, seem to think they have a perfect constitutional right to keep the president in the pillory of their spurious investigations indefinitely. The whole edifice of the Trump moral crisis is coming down in shards around the ears of the scumbag/liar-Clinton and scumbag/liar-nObama Democrats.

The numberless candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination will presumably go to hilarious extremes to sidestep the whole Trump-impeachment debacle, but the credibility of the Democratic party, given the total immersion the scumbag/liar-Clinton/scumbag/ liar-nObama era is about to receive in the Trump-collusion perfidy, will not be unscathed. After the brave launches of the candidacies, almost all of them have floundered. Kirsten Gillibrand, who has done and said absolutely nothing to merit consideration as president, has launched and sunk down the slipways and beneath the waves — her candidacy has attracted zero support. Most of the other candidates are equally unprepossessing. scumbag-Cory Booker, perhaps the most compulsively verbose candidate since Hubert Humphrey who was a good deal more thoughtful and entertaining, is apparently full of goodwill, but very inadequate. lowlife-Kamala Harris seems to have the makings of a good candidate, but she is already tangled up in the runaway leftward nonsense of open borders, socialized medicine, high taxes, and the Green terror. socalist-Beto O’Rourke, as foreseen, after a brief flurry, has skateboarded off the dock and been abandoned by the media as an arm-flapping airhead. Elizabeth dinky-Warren is everyone’s nightmare of a severe, humorless kindergarten teacher, and she will not recover from her masquerade as a native Indian. Amy Klobuchar is sensible and seems likeable but has no pizzazz and hasn’t made inroads so far with radical normalcy, though its time could come.

The sensible majority of Democrats note that their party, on the heels of the Russian-collusion disaster, has completely bungled the border-and-migration issue and has gone down in flames with the claim that it is a crisis manufactured by the president. They have watched in silent horror as their party has been stampeded to the left, and the search is already under way for a moderate candidate. This will require breaking the bipartisan tradition of elevating the runner-up from the previous campaign. commie-Bernie Sanders would expect to follow scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton, as Mrs. scumbag/liar-Clinton lost to and succeeded Barack scumbag/liar-nObama, and Bob Dole did the same with George H. W. Bush, and rino-John McCain with George W. Bush. But commie-Bernie Sanders will be 79 on the next Inauguration Day, and he was too far left for the Democrats four years ago, when they lost to Trump, and he is still moving left. They are starting to put up a commie-Sanders alternative every two weeks, as the Republicans did against rino-Mitt Romney in 2012 — Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum — and rino-Romney was a centrist. Each rival arose, mounted a serious challenge, and then imploded for different reasons.

The Democrats’ main Stop commie-Sanders candidate has been loose lips-Joe Biden, but he has been sandbagged by the now customary, if not obligatory, flood of disrespected women from previous years and decades. That seems to be surmountable, as loose lips-Biden was only tactile, not intrusive, but the simmering concerns about his financial relations with Ukraine and controversies in his family seem to be delaying his decision. He is not, at the best of times, an exciting candidate, but he might at least prevent a McGovern-level seismic electoral landslide, which is what awaits any Democratic candidate festooned with the cornucopia of this campaign’s far-left nostrums.

socalist-Beto was the first try at a new face, and he bombed. Mayor Pete Buttigieg seems to be the next. He is an interesting candidate and had a good launch. The fact that he is only 37, gay, and the mayor of a rather small city gives him plenty of novelty, and he is the most articulate of the candidates. His approach to the gay issue is also imaginative. He is unapologetic about being gay and asserts that he would much rather be straight, but that God made him as he is, and therefore this should not be held against him: “Your complaint is with my creator.” It is not belligerent gay-pride-in-your-face self-defense. There are presumably an appreciable number of people, most of them quite tolerant, who would rather not have a gay president, and their problem, in that regard, is with the candidate, not with God, who created tens of millions of people they would not, for many other reasons, wish to be president. Good try, but no sale. Mayor Pete deserves to hang in for a while, but he is a bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing ideologically, and being mayor of South Bend is a training school for Congress or being governor, but not president in one leap. 

 My guess is that loose lips-Biden can still win the nomination, but it will be a pretty unenthused campaign. If he doesn’t make his move fairly soon, Klobuchar may gradually rise as the presentable alternative to sirens of the left. Trump will get an improved trade arrangement with China, the North Korean discussions will at least not have descended back to nuclear saber-rattling, and there may be progress in the Middle East, as the Arabs don’t want the Palestinians muddying the waters while the Turks and Iranians are crowding the Arab powers. Trump will have got enough done with the southern border to satisfy the national concern on that subject, will have a full-employment economy, and will conduct an extremely flamboyant campaign flailing the Democrats with all the Trump-collusion nonsense. Incumbent presidents have been defeated only twice since the Great Depression — Jimmy Carter was not a very effective president, and George H. W. Bush allowed the political charlatan Ross Perot to split his party and take 20 million votes. Trump will have the strongest first term to run on since Reagan, or even Nixon, and they both carried 49 states. Trump won’t do that, but he hasn’t made a seriously unfortunate public utterance for months and looks stronger each week.

theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ I’m on my fifth 4×8 whiteboard overlay, now formatted into a timeline sequence; and I’m determined to have a massive amount of material for both the House and Senate... to confront former special counsel dirty cop-Mueller if he complies with requests for appearance. Believe me, this ain’t dirty cop- Mueller’s construct; it’s from the original small group: 19 lawyers, 40 current FBI officials and their Lawfare assistants. They have no idea how much their own hubris has positioned themselves at the precipice of their own grave. In my opinion, the dirty cop-Mueller appearance and a well armed Republican panel should be the ignition spark for The Big Ugly. There is enough material evidence manifest within the 448-page Weissmann report to collapse three-years of intense intelligence abuse and destroy the Democrat party for decades….Thus an unfortunate suspicion, dirty cop-Mueller will never present himself for questioning.

The dirty cop-Mueller Report Vindicates Bill Barr

{nationalreview.com} ~ Democrats and their media partners owe AG Barr an apology. He won't get one, it goes without saying.  Just to recap, the attorney general was accused of misrepresenting dirty cop-Mueller’s report... of providing a false summary of the report; of plotting to use grand-jury law and other secrecy provisions as a pretext to redact most of the report; and of calling an extraordinary press conference in order to exculpate the president by projecting a fraudulent version of the report.  These accusations were slanderously false. Barr made dirty cop-Mueller’s bottom-line findings available on a Sunday, March 24, less than two full days after receiving the report from dirty cop-Mueller late on a Friday. Now that the 448-page tome is public, it is easy to see that it could not possibly have been redacted, in keeping with federal law, without a weeks-long review process. If Barr had issued nothing while that painstaking process went on, he’d have been vilified for a cover-up. Instead, he quickly and accurately reported dirty cop-Mueller’s findings . . . and was of course vilified for purportedly lying about what the report said — notwithstanding that dirty cop-Mueller, no wallflower, was cooperating in the redaction process and would obviously not have abided a fictional account of his work. Barr’s brief account could not have been a false summary because he never undertook to summarize the report. He simply communicated dirty cop-Mueller’s bottom line — yes, Russia meddled; no, Trump was not complicit in a criminal conspiracy; and hand-wringing on obstruction, leaving it to Barr to make the final call. Barr maintained that it would violate federal law if he provided grand-jury material to Congress, so he would have to withhold it. Democrats went ballistic . . . but within days, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that grand-jury materials must be kept secret unless they fall under an exception prescribed in Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e) — which does not have an exception for disclosure to Congress. Instead of bloviating, Democrats could simply have proposed an amendment to Rule 6(e) that would have permitted the disclosure, but that would have been an implicit concession that Barr was right. They need Barr to be perceived as not just wrong but corrupt. That’s the strategy... What if Bar didn't share the documents, these lying dems would go ape crazy.   https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/04/mueller-report-vindicates-william-barr/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NR%20Daily%20Saturday%202019-04-20&utm_term=NRDaily-Smart

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Mexican troops questioned two U.S. soldiers along the two countries' border earlier this month... The American soldiers were on the U.S. side of the border conducting a routine surveillance operation, defense officials say. Military officials from the U.S. Northern Command  said that "five to six Mexican military personnel questioned two U.S. Army soldiers who were conducting border support operations." The soldiers were in an unmarked Customs and Border Protection vehicle near the southwest border in the vicinity of Clint, Texas. Officials confirmed that the Mexican troops were armed with what seemed to be assault riffles. They drew their weapons when they saw the two U.S. soldiers and ordered the U.S. troops to return their weapons to a military vehicle. According to officials, the two Americans obliged "in an attempt to de-escalate a potential volatile situation." "Throughout the incident, the U.S. soldiers followed all established procedures and protocols," Northern Command said in a statement. While the two U.S. troops were on the south side of the security perimeter, officials say that they were still north of the Rio Grande and thus were firmly inside American territory. After the incident, military and Department of Homeland Security officials sent an inquiry to the Mexican government demanding an explanation. "An inquiry by CBP and DOD revealed that the Mexican military members believed that the US Army soldiers were south of the border," said Northern Command, referring to Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Defense. "Though they were south of the border fence, U.S. soldiers remained in U.S. territory, north of the actual border," the statement said, adding that "after a brief discussion between the soldiers from the two nations, the Mexican military members departed the area."   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/mexican-troops-drew-weapons-on-american-soldiers-on-u-s-side-of-the-border?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_04/20/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief&rid=5261

{foxnews.com} ~ A pair holding U.S. and British nationalities were among the 11 foreigners killed after a series of explosions struck three churches and three luxury hotels... in and just outside of Sri Lanka’s capital Easter Sunday, leaving at least 207 people dead and 450 others injured, officials said. Sri Lanka's foreign ministry said the other foreigners whose nationalities have been verified included three Indians, one Portuguese national, two Turkish nationals, and three British nationals. The U.S. State Department confirmed in a statement that “several U.S. citizens were among those killed” in the explosions, though details were still emerging. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo went on to condemn the Easter morning "terror attacks." "Attacks on innocent people gathering in a place of worship or enjoying a holiday meal are affronts to the universal values and freedoms that we hold dear, and demonstrate yet again the brutal nature of radical terrorists whose sole aim is to threaten peace and security," Pompeo said in the statement. The six nearly simultaneous blasts—followed hours later by two more explosions—marked the bloodshed as among the worst since the South Asian country’s 26-year civil war ended a decade ago, a spokesperson for the Sri Lanka police said...
White House: Now probe scumbag/liar-Hillary 
email scandal, scumbag/liar-Clinton 
Foundation, Page, and Strzok
by Paul Bedard

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The White House Thursday ripped the “breathless” media coverage of the Russia collusion “hoax” and said now that it’s over, journalists should turn their attention on scumbag/liar-nObama-era scandals...
 “While the establishment media has breathlessly covered this partisan witch hunt for nearly two years, they refuse to cover the real scandals that plagued the previous Democrat administration,” said an official. The campaign manager of the Trump 2020 reelection campaign, Brad Parscale, added, "Now that the collusion and obstruction conspiracy theories have been exposed for the pathetic hoaxes they always were, the scumbag/liar-nObama-era Department of Justice and FBI must answer for their misdeeds and the scam that they perpetrated against the American people. Justice will be served.”The administration cited the email scandal that dogged former Secretary of State scumbag/liar-Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose loss to President Trump in 2016 still shocks Democrats. The administration noted that former President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama gave the email scandal a pass when, on "60 Minutes," he said it was a “mistake” but not “a national security problem." That comment raised concern in national security circles, and one former official said, “That’s a problem, right?” It also cited the destruction of over 30,000 scumbag/liar-Clinton emails from her private server in New York after a preservation order had been issued. The White House also wants the scumbag/liar-Clinton Foundation’s funding investigated and the efforts by FBI agents Lisa Page and Peter Strzok to undermine Trump and help scumbag/liar-Clinton in the 2016 election.   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/white-house-now-probe-hillary-email-scandal-clinton-foundation-page-and-strzok

Rigging Electoral Demo-Graphics to 
Guarantee Leftist Rule

Mark Alexander:  Every day since Donald Trump’s electoral victory over Hillary Clinton in November of 2016, leaders of the now-socialist Democrat Party and their deranged legions of “useful idiots” have claimed that the election was stolen.
 

This theme fueled dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s contrived  Russian-collusion investigation into how Trump and the Russians conspired to defeat Clinton. But as it turns out, they didn’t collude — which all but the most dimwitted partisans already knew. However, the Leftmedia’s  endless delusional dramatization of the greatest crime in American political history made for great diversionary theater over the last 30 months — and generated a lot of revenue.

Ironically, this collusion between the Demos and their media propagandists was, in large measure, responsible for their victory in the 2018 midterm elections — ironic because it ensured that Vladimir Putin did influence our elections.

Additionally, the Demos’ “Hate Trump” platform has emboldened new socialist cadres and boosted socialist protagonist commie-Bernie Sanders to the front of the 2020 pack. But they are deeply concerned about their 2020 presidential prospects under the current “antiquated constitutional system” that only allows U.S. citizens to vote and requires a majority of electoral votes state-by-state to determine a presidential victory.

The old FDR model for buying elections — redistributing wealth and entitlements in exchange for votes — didn’t work in 2016, when a substantial number of blue-collar “deplorables” defected from Clinton to Trump, from Democrat to Republican. Democrats now worry that these deplorables are even more firmly in the Trump camp than ever and that the Electoral College is somehow rigged against them.

So, what’s a Demo to do?

Since they’re concerned about their ability to defeat Trump under the current rules — even given their feigned threats of impeachment and the economic instability that creates — their solution is much more radical.

Democrats are in the process of changing election rules, which will virtually guarantee them majority rule in the near future.

And make no mistake — the leftists at the head of the Demo-dragon are pulling out all the stops to enact those rule changes, thereby “transforming” our Constitutional Republic into a mob-rule democracy. Of course, Democrat initiatives are never bridled by the Constitution or the antiquated notion of Rule of Law, opting instead for the rule of men.

Here is the lineup of the Democrats’ nine strategic objectives to purge the Constitution from our electoral process and ensure their perpetual majority: 1) resist attempts to secure our southern border and thereby allow illegal immigrants to flood the country; 2) give illegals voting rights; 3) oppose voter-ID requirements; 4) rig the census so that illegals are counted as U.S. citizens and districts can be redrawn accordingly; 5) lower the voting age to introduce a younger, more ignorant, and more impressionable demographic; 6) centralize elections so the outcome can more easily be rigged; 7) give statehood to overwhelmingly Democratic Puerto Rico and Washington, DC; 8) abolish the constitutionally mandated Electoral College; and finally, 9) pack the Supreme Court with additional justices to make sure their plan for a permanent Democrat majority faces no legal hurdles.

Democrats clearly want to open our southern border and extend voting rights to all the illegal immigrants who have poured, and continue to pour, across that border, knowing that these poor, low-skilled immigrants are overwhelmingly predisposed to their welfare-state policies. At the same time, Demos vehemently oppose voter-ID requirements in states that don’t allow illegal immigrants to vote.

If they’re successful at blocking citizenship questions on the 2020 U.S. Census, Democrats will be able to artificially inflate the population demographics of “sanctuary” cities and states to increase their districts and thus, increase their electoral votes.

Democrats are always endeavoring to dumb-down the electorate, and what better way to do that than reducing the voting age to 16? As Speaker Nancy Pulosi says, “I myself have always been for lowering the voting age to 16. I think it’s really important to capture kids when they’re in high school, when they’re interested in all of this, when they’re learning about government, to be able to vote.”

Of course, there hasn’t been a real civics class taught in a public high school for three decades, so this has nothing to do with engaging civic-minded young people and everything to do with mobilizing brainwashed minions.

Central to the Democrats’ efforts to expand their voter ranks was passage of HR1, the so-called For the People Act to “expand Americans’ access to the ballot box,” mostly by federalizing state and local elections. That bill provides for mass voter registrations, voting rights for illegal aliens, voting rights for convicted felons while in prison, and same-day voter registration — meaning no verification. It will sit in the House, however, until a Democrat Senate majority can be secured.

Of HR1, Investor’s Business Daily warns: “Far-left media advocates for the Democrats have benignly called the proposed new law ‘election reform,’ claimed it ‘could save American Democracy’ and characterized it as ‘a sweeping anti-corruption proposal.’ It is none of those things. Instead, H.R.1 is a shocking power grab on the part of the Democrats who seek to nationalize all elections so they can permanently silence the Red States that stand in their way. It does so by transferring most of the power over elections to the federal government, and taking it away from the states, as the Constitution requires.”

HR1 is so offensive to our Constitution that even the leftist American Civil Liberties Union opposed it, protesting that the bill would “unconstitutionally impinge on the free speech rights of American citizens and public interest organizations.”

As HR1 reached the House floor, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) noted that he “offered a motion to recommit #HR1 reaffirming that only US citizens should have the right to vote. Dems rejected it.” Thus, he said, “Next time you go to the ballot box, keep that in mind. The future of their party is in cities like San Fran, where illegals can vote. Let that sink in.”

Of course, creating states out of socioeconomically dependent jurisdictions or territories is a quick way to increase Democrat representation in the Senate, and that’s the objective of active and ongoing efforts to win statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Last, and most insidious in terms of subverting our Constitution’s electoral mandate, is the effort to abolish the Electoral College — the method by which we’ve elected our presidents since 1789. Pursuant to Article II, Section 1, Clause 2, the legislature of each state determines the manner by which its electors are chosen. Democrats are well down the road to sabotaging the Electoral College by rigging how states cast their electoral votes.

According to Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren (D-MA), who is leading the 2020 candidates’ electoral-subterfuge movement, “Every vote matters and the way we can make that happen is that we can have national voting, and that means get rid of the Electoral College.”

Actually, the Electoral College ensures that every vote matters, and not just those in a few states with massive urban centers. What the Democrats are setting up is “Urbana versus America,” an effort to make sure that New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and a few other large and deeply Democrat metropolises dictate policy for the rest of the nation.

By way of review, in their timeless wisdom, our Founders ensured that a few states would not be able to exercise dominion over all the other states. Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 68, regarding “The Mode of Electing the President,” wrote about the brilliance of the Electoral College.

James Madison explained in Federalist No. 39, regarding “Conformity of the Plan to Republican Principles,” that our election system should be a combination of state-based and population-based selection. States would have a number of representatives in the House based on population, while each state would have two members in the Senate. And the president would be elected by a combined representation of state electors.

Additionally, in Federalist No. 10, regarding “Safeguard Against Domestic Faction and Insurrection,” James Madison outlined the danger of “an interested and overbearing majority” and the “mischiefs of faction,” which he defined as “a number of citizens whether amounting to a majority or minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community.”

The number of electors in each state is, of course, equal to the total of each state’s Senate and House members. There are currently 100 senators and 435 representatives, plus three electors from the District of Columbia, for a combined total of 538 electors. Thus, when a presidential candidate reaches 270 electoral votes, he or she is the victor.

In recent decades, three presidents didn’t win a majority of votes but did win the Electoral College vote.

scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton failed to win a popular majority in either of his presidential victories, receiving just 43% in 1992 and 49% in 1996. In the 2000 election, neither George W. Bush nor scumbag-Albert Gore gained a popular majority of the votes, with Bush narrowly defeating Gore with 271 electoral votes.

Likewise, in 2016, neither scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump received a popular majority of votes, but Trump won where it mattered, trouncing scumbag/liar-Clinton 304 to 227 in the Electoral College.

If Democrats succeed in their National Popular Vote campaign to negate the Electoral College, however, they will ensure that a few large states control all the rest.

Wealthy leftists, including the likes of scumbag-George Soros and his archenemies of Liberty, are bankrolling the National Popular Vote movement.

According to the compact, states will award electors to whoever wins the national popular vote even if a majority of a member state’s voters supported another candidate. By definition, this goes against the stated purpose of the compact and Sen. dinky-Warren’s assertion that “every vote matters.”

The signatories to the NPV effort agree that it will take effect when there are enough states to reach 270 electoral votes. It currently has 181. The NPV has already been enacted into law in 15 states and jurisdictions, representing 189 electoral votes. Those include five smaller states (DE, HI, RI, VT) and DC; six medium-size states (CO, CT, MD, MA, NM, WA); and four of the nation’s largest states (CA, IL, NJ, NY).

While these Democrat-controlled states will likely not reach 270 by 2020, they will very likely reach that level by 2024. And they will weaponize the Federal Election Commission to ensure they do.

Finally, to ensure that all these measures to produce a permanent Democrat majority face no legal hurdles, leftists have renewed their call to pack the Supreme Court, as FDR endeavored to do under cover of the Great Depression.

In sum, the Democrats’ multiple-vector effort to change the rules is all about absolute power over principles, and their effort to abolish the Electoral College in particular has ominous implications for the future of Liberty.

As Founder John Adams wrote, “We should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections.”

That institutional infection is now epidemic.

FBI’s Closed Door Testimony Points to More Wrongdoing than Just Spying by

by americanlibertyreport.com:  It’s common knowledge that the evidence presented to the FISA Court as reason to investigate Donald Trump and members of his campaign was from Trump hater foreign spy Christopher Steele... We all know by now that Steele wrote up the dossier based on things he read online from a CNN message board. We also know the FBI never checked out any of Steele’s claims before presenting the information as “facts” to the FISA court. We know now, that this kind of thing was commonplace under the scumbag/liar-nObama administration. Now that Attorney General, William Barr had said in front of Congress that he believes the scumbag/liar-nObama administration spied on Trump’s campaign team and others illegally, the truth is finally starting to work its way to the surface. As the media pours over the dirty cop-Mueller report and attempts to defame AG Barr and anyone else who tries to tell the truth, transcripts from a closed door hearing with the FBI’s former Counterintelligence Director, Bill Priestap in front of Congress reveals way juicier details, including allegations of more than just spying for scumbag/liar-nObama officials. Priestap’s testimony tells the story of an scumbag/liar-nObama administration that deliberately broke the law in the way it spied on Donald Trump. Priestap’s story, which was provided to Congress in a closed-door session in the summer of 2018, contains a litany of abuses...

{theintercept.com} ~ AG William Barr is coming under increasing fire from congressional Democrats for statements he made before the release of the dirty cop-Mueller report... Critics say the remarks purposefully downplayed how damaging special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report was for President Donald Trump. House Judiciary Committee Chair scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said Friday morning that his committee has issued a subpoena to the Justice Department to obtain the full, unredacted report. The subpoena demands that the Justice Department turn over the report by May 1. scumbag liar-Nadler also asked dirty cop-Mueller to testify before his committee. “It is clear Congress and the American people must hear from Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller in person to better understand his findings,” scumbag liar-Nadler said. The subpoena comes in the wake of the Justice Department’s release of a redacted version of the dirty cop-Mueller report on Thursday. The redacted version was made public only after Barr gave a press conference early in the morning, in which he sought to claim that the report effectively exonerated Trump and those around him. That press conference followed an earlier statement  Barr issued on March 24, in the form of a four-page letter that claimed to summarize dirty cop-Mueller’s findings. Critics said both his press conference and the four-page letter were part of Barr’s attempt to whitewash the dirty cop-Mueller report’s findings and spin the public narrative about the report before it was actually released. In a joint statement Thursday after the report’s release, House Speaker Nancy Pulosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck scumbag-Schumer, D-N.Y., charged that Barr “deliberately distorted significant portions of Special Counsel dirty cop-Mueller’s report.” They added that dirty cop-Mueller’s report “paints a disturbing picture of a president who has been weaving a web of deceit, lies and improper behavior and acting as if the law doesn’t apply to him. But if you hadn’t read the report and listened only to Mr. Barr, you wouldn’t have known any of that because Mr. Barr has been so misleading.”... Misleading, you got to be kidding when the documents where made public.

Stolen Archives Show the 
True History of Russia Collusion
by Daniel Ashman

americanthinker.com } ~ Numerous examples are provided in a soon to be released book, Judgment in Moscow, by the heroic Soviet dissident, Vladimir Bukovsky. He makes use of extensive first hand documents that he personally stole from Russia's Central Committee (C.C.) archives...
 which have never before been accessible to Americans. The media must be tripping over themselves to see what Bukovsky reveals...right? Well, not so much. Because the C.C. documents demonstrate, irrefutably, that the American Establishment was the one willingly and repeatedly colluding with Russia — an inconvenient fact. This is history that the mainstream media don't want Americans to know. Bukovsky's book was actually first published over two decades ago in many languages and countries. But not in America. Random House said it would publish it but then demanded that Bukovsky fundamentally alter its content — downplay the infiltration of the West by Russia! Show how insignificant Russian actions were! — that Bukovsky had to walk away. Afterward, no American publisher would touch it. That's especially remarkable, given Bukovsky's accomplished life. He spent over a decade in gulags, psychiatric wards, and labor camps and wrote a worldwide bestseller on it, To Build a Castle: My Life as a Dissenter. He then went on to be an adviser to President Reagan and a personal friend of Prime Minister Thatcher. Imagine that! After such an extraordinary life, American publishers tried to lecture Bukovsky about what ideas on American-Russian relations were permissible. They really did not want to talk about Russian collusion up until just recently...

A Flock of F-15X Eagles

americanthinker.com } ~ The F-15 Eagle fighter, which first entered United States Air Force (USAF) service in 1976, will continue to be an essential element of America’s air superiority force into the 2040s... Accordingly, the Department of Defense needs to procure the F-15X, the latest version of this fourth-generation fighter that will remain a vital weapons system even in an era of stealthy fifth-generation fighters like the scarce F-22. The website Warzone has examined how a “quiet USAF inquiry” prompted the F-15X, not Boeing’s commercial interests Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan, a former Boeing executive, has recused himself from F-15X decisions. Previously USAF leaders like Air Force secretary Heather Wilson “had been adamant about only buying stealthy 5th generation fighters” and had “myopically focused on” USAF’s F-35. The USAF procured its last fourth-generation fighters, F-15s and F-16s, in 2001. Warzone’s report contrasts that an “all stealth force sounds good, but in reality, it is fiscally unsustainable and not beneficial, and even a hindrance,” for many USAF missions. In particular, the Air Force, which had 134 fighter squadrons in 1991 during the Gulf War, wants to expand a current strength of 55 fighter squadrons to 60. USAF’s Air Combat Command General James “Mike” Holmes has therefore emphasized the cost-saving need for an appropriate procurement mix of fourth- and fifth-generation fighters. Warzone’s article noted that the F-15X “could play a pivotal role in supporting many of the most buzz-worthy air combat concepts being discussed by USAF today.” Already the “F-15 is the heavy lifter” among American fighters and the F-15X’s “crazy weapons hauling capabilities” could “carry a whopping 22 air-to-air missiles.” By comparison, the USAF’s current single- and two-seater F-15C/Ds can carry eight air-to-air missiles, and F-15s recently ordered by Saudi Arabia 12, while the F-35 in stealth-mode has only six to eight weapons carried internally. Therefore a Popular Mechanics article has noted that the F-15X could act as a “glorified missileer, launching missiles on cue from its stealthier cousins.”  The F-15X could also carry a range of large weapons systems like lasers or standoff tactical jammers to support stealth aircraft. Additionally, the F-15’s combat radius of 1,150 miles versus 870 for the F-35 means that the F-15 “can fly long-range missions while the F-35 is much more a tactical aircraft optimized for relatively short-range missions.”...

Greece: A "No-Go" Zone in Athens?

gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ An assault on members of the Hellenic Coast Guard during a drug raid in Athens on April 4 highlights a growing problem in Greece... Some opponents of the far-left Syriza-led government attribute the increasing drug traffic in the country to a dangerous alliance between political anarchists and illegal immigrants. The anarchists might be considered the Greek equivalent of the "far left". According to Reuters: "Many self-proclaimed anarchists - the word stems from the Greek 'anarchia' or absence of authority - say they are pacifist, but certain groups have few qualms about using violence. Six years of recession have fuelled a new wave of left-wing militancy, according to officials, anarchists and court testimony." The April 4 incident was sparked when Greek authorities arrested a Syrian national on a ferry at the Piraeus Port; he was carrying 200 grams of marijuana, which he said he had purchased from an Egyptian drug dealer in the Exarchia neighborhood of Athens. Eight members of the Coast Guard and a prosecutor immediately went to Exarchia to raid the supplier's apartment, located in one of 50 buildings in the neighborhood that are occupied by illegal-immigrant squatters. When the officers and prosecutor arrived at the building, they arrested two female suspects, a Greek-Australian and a Syrian national, and confiscated 1.5 kilograms of cannabis and a Glock pistol. On their way out of the building, the officers were  ambushed by a masked mob, wearing helmets and bulletproof vests, and armed with knives, clubs and assault rifles. Two Coast Guard officers were stabbed in the attack, and their weapons taken...   https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14082/greece-no-go-zone-athens

Speech and Trademarks on Trial

Political Editors:  On Monday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Iancu v. Brunetti, a case concerned with free-speech rights in relation to trade marking. At issue “is the 1946 Lanham Act’s prohibition on trademarks deemed ‘scandalous’ and ‘immoral,’” The Wall Street Journal explained. “The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2014 denied a trademark for Erik Brunetti’s streetwear line FUCT — short for Friends U Can’t Trust — after concluding that the brand ‘objectifies women and offers degrading examples of extreme misogyny’ and is ‘lacking in taste.’”

Brunetti’s argument is that the Lanham Act should be struck down as unconstitutional because its prohibition against “scandalous” and “immoral” trademarks is an affront to Americans’ First Amendment liberties.

Malcolm Stewart, the lawyer representing the government, argued that the refusal by the government to offer trademark protection was not a restriction of free speech; rather it was the government simply deciding not to promote certain speech. Stewart, who refrained from saying the brand’s name, said it was “the equivalent of the profane past participle form of a well-known word of profanity and perhaps the paradigmatic word of profanity in our language.”

A point the justices made was that irrespective of whether Brunetti was denied a trademark registration, it did not prevent him from using the name to register his business. However, not having a registered trademark does make it more difficult for him to go after anyone who would seek to counterfeit his products.

Finally, both Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Neil Gorsuch noted the apparent inconsistent application of the Lanham Act, given that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted registration to “PHUKIT.” Gorsuch stated, “There are shocking numbers of ones granted and ones refused” that “do look remarkably similar.” He said that it was as if the cases were decided via a “flip of a coin.”

Based upon the inconstant manner in which the Lanham Act has been applied, it appears likely that the justices may indeed throw out the rather dubious “scandalous” and “immoral” prohibition.  ~The Patriot Post

DOJ Hits Back Against scumbag liar-Nadler’s
dirty cop-Mueller Report Subpoena with

At least for the Department of Justice, however... it describes a subpoena for the full version of the document issued by House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler almost immediately after the release of the redacted version. On Friday, the New York Democrat subpoenaed Attorney General William Barr to appear before the committee by May 1 with “the complete and unredacted version of the report submitted … by Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller.” “I am open to working with the Department to reach a reasonable accommodation for access to these materials, however I cannot accept any proposal which leaves most of Congress in the dark, as they grapple with their duties of legislation, oversight and constitutional accountability,” swcumbag liar-Nadler said in a statement. “My Committee needs and is entitled to the full version of the report and the underlying evidence consistent with past practice. The redactions appear to be significant. We have so far seen none of the actual evidence that the Special Counsel developed to make this case. “Even the redacted version of the report outlines serious instances of wrongdoing by President Trump and his closest associates. It now falls to Congress to determine the full scope of that alleged misconduct and to decide what steps we must take going forward.”The Department of Justice immediately pushed back on the request. “In the interest of transparency, the Attorney General released the Special Counsel’s ‘confidential report’ with only minimal redactions,” DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement, according to CNN.“The Department of Justice has also made arrangements for Chairman scumbag liar-Nadler and other Congressional leaders to review the report with even fewer redactions. In light of this, Congressman scumbag liar-Nadler’s subpoena is premature and unnecessary. The Department will continue to work with Congress to accommodate its legitimate requests consistent with the law and long-recognized executive branch interests.”...

dailycaller.com } ~ Fox News senior correspondent Brit Hume called out California Democratic Rep. scumbag-Adam Schiff for suggesting special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report released Thursday... failed to exonerate President Donald Trump. scumbag-Schiff said, “If the special counsel … had found evidence exonerating the president, he would have said so. He did not. He left that issue to the Congress of the United States, and we will need to consider it.” Those who suggested that the president colluded with the Russians before the release of the report now appear to be focusing on unsubstantiated obstruction of justice charges. This focus is based on an inconclusive line in dirty cop-Meuller’s report, which says investigators were “unable to reach” a judgment that Trump “clearly did not commit obstruction of justice: If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, however, we are unable to reach that judgment. The evidence we obtained about the president’s actions and intent presents difficult issues that prevent us from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred. The report’s emphatic conclusion that the Trump campaign did not conspire with Russian forces during the 2016 election prompted the president to remark that it was “a good day.” scumbag-Schiff, who has long maintained he has “evidence” of Russian collusion has also criticized Attorney General William Barr for suggesting the FBI was spying on the Trump campaign...   https://dailycaller.com/2019/04/19/brit-hume-nonsense-schiff-mueller-trump-innocent/

dailysignal.com } ~ Ponder this: If self-styled “progressives” in Congress impose total government control over health care, will ordinary Americans enjoy a longer life span?... Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., chief sponsor of the Senate “Medicare for All” bill (S. 1804), often reminds us that the United States spends roughly twice as much per capita on health care as most other economically advanced countries, but American life expectancy is lower than that of almost all these high-income nations. Reps. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., and Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., lead sponsors of the House’s Medicare for All bill (H.R. 1384) say, “The quality of our health care is much worse than that of other industrialized countries. The life expectancy in the U.S. is lower than other nations, while our infant mortality is much higher.” These are misleading generalizations. In fact, American medical outcomes for the most serious conditions—for example, lower mortality from heart attacks and strokes, as well as survival rates from a variety of cancers—are generally superior to those of other advanced countries. The liberal Left continue to push their radical agenda against American values. America’s high level of investment in advanced medical technologies, including innovative drug therapies, has improved medical outcomes and has directly contributed to longer life expectancy among our senior citizens. According to the “Economic Report of the President,” issued in March...

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Congressional Republicans who toured part of the southern border this week saw firsthand the number of families and children arriving. But the House lawmakers were shocked at the idea that smugglers recycle children across the border... “I think the entire delegation was shocked,” said Luke Ball, press secretary for Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. The   Washington Examiner was riding along with Reps. John Joyce of Pennsylvania, Pete Stauber of Minnesota, Dusty Johnson of South Dakota, Andy Biggs of Arizona, and Gaetz Tuesday night when officials leading the tour pointed to a group of more than 40 people who had just crossed through the Colorado River south of the Morelos Dam and surrendered to Border Patrol agents less than a quarter-mile into the U.S. “Right now, they’re getting their biographical information: name, first name, last name, date of birth, nationality. Right now, they may ask them where they’re going — how many people, if it was a family unit, were they by themselves, were they minors?” an agent, who spoke on background, told the group of lawmakers. “Every one has a kid, at least one. Every one has a kid,” one congressman reacted at the scene. A Border Patrol agent speaking to lawmakers said agents in the Yuma sector, which has seen the third-highest family apprehensions of all nine sectors this year, said some children are being sent back to Central America after making it to the U.S. The agent said children are being “rented out.” “They know that’s their ticket in,” one lawmaker said...

Red Flag Gun Laws Are a Page Out

fee.org } ~ Red flag gun laws are suddenly popular in America. Colorado recently became the fifteenth state to pass such a law... The law, the tenth such passed since the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, will allow authorities to seize the private property—firearms—of someone deemed a risk to himself or others after successfully petitioning a court. Nearly a dozen sheriffs have said they will refuse to enforce the law, which they say is unconstitutional, even if it means going to jail. Divining what is legal and what is not is no simple task in this era of constitutional penumbras, yet there is no question that red flag gun laws turn due process on its head. In fact, one might say that red flag laws walk dangerously close to an infamous idea in sci-fi literature: pre-crime. Many readers have probably heard of pre-crime, a theme explored in the hit 2002 Minority Report. The movie, which starred Tom Cruise and was directed by Steven Spielberg, shows us a world in which murder doesn’t exist because authorities have figured out a way to prevent such crimes before they happen. The film is based on a 1956 novel written by Philip K. Dick, the same author whose literary works inspired such films as Blade Runner, The Man in the High Castle, and  Total Recall. If there’s a central theme running through Dick’s work, it’s the idea that the future will increasingly find individual autonomy under threat from creeping authoritarianism and omnipresent technology...

Google's Blatant Bias
bPs-3U8FJkVLHIfq-ZsluZxcyTzHL-jCQGfTN7CogCpGyUlZXX83AIiKeHkDKhCOYYTWApuIfhUZos2A2tnarYtr_eXzwgbYeQQiBs3qYxJyyHzu_GucCN84juDCOXwihx8pRETPeSiQ_MRLBnPXb1vyhIV54ekBHItpHdg=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Arnold Ahlert:  In a revelation that should surprise no one, internal documents show that Google manually manipulates its search results. “Two official policies dubbed the ‘misrepresentation policy’ and the ‘good neighbor policy’ inform the company’s ‘XPA news blacklist,’ which is maintained by Google’s Trust & Safety team,” the Daily Caller reports.

The information obtained from the policy documents is damning. Google’s Trust & Safety team “will be in charge of updating the blacklist as when there is a demand,” and a “deceptive_news domain blacklist is going to be used by many search features to filter problematic sites that violate the good neighbor and misrepresentation policies.” That blacklist will “bar the sites from surfacing in any Search feature or news product. It will not cause a demotion in the organic search results or de-index them altogether.”

In other words, sites that offend the sensibilities of Google’s tech team will not be completely removed from the “ten blue links” portion of search results. But other search features, such as “top news,” “videos,” or various sidebars that are often returned as part of search results, will be censored.

One of the documents states that it was “approved by gomes@, nayak@, haahr@ as of 8/13/2018.” Ben Gomes heads Google’s search team and reports directly to CEO Sundar Pichai. Pandu Nayak is a Google Fellow. Paul Haahr is a software engineer whose company bio states that he is involved in “fringe ranking: not showing fake news, hate speech, conspiracy theories, or science/medical/history denial unless we’re sure that’s what the user wants.”

All of the above seemingly contradicts sworn testimony given by Pichai at a meeting of the House Judiciary Committee last December. “I lead this company without political bias and work to ensure that our products continue to operate that way,” Pichai said in his opening statement. “To do otherwise would go against our core principles and our business interests.”

At the same meeting, Rep. scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) outlined the core “principles” of the Democrat Party. “Before we delve into these questions, I must first dispense with a completely illegitimate issue, which is the fantasy, dreamed up by some conservatives, that Google and other online platforms have an anti-conservative bias,” he asserted. “As I have said repeatedly, no credible evidence supports this right-wing conspiracy theory.”

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) apparently didn’t get the proverbial memo. She asked Pichai why searching for the word “idiot” returned a photo of President Donald Trump. Pichai remained adamant, answering, “This is working at scale. We don’t manually intervene on any particular search result.”

Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) was even more direct. “Conservative individuals and organizations have had their pro-Trump content tagged as ‘hate speech,’ or had their content reduced in search results,” he stated, citing studies that showed such bias.

Pichai insisted all the studies were flawed. “We found issues with the methodology and the sample sizes and so on, but let me step back and say providing users high-quality and trusted information is sacrosanct to us.”

PJ Media’s study was anecdotal, but troubling nonetheless. A search for “Trump” using the “News” tab prioritized left-leaning news sites, with no right-leaning site making it to the first page of results. Moreover, in the first 100 results, left-leaning sites comprised 96% of the total returns.

Yet a far more extensive study of 1,200 URLs was conducted by San Francisco SEO company Can I Rank. Researchers looked at high-ranking Google sites that included politically charged keywords such as “gun control, ” “abortion,” and “Black Lives Matter.” Despite Pichai’s assertions, they discovered that “top search results were almost 40% more likely to contain pages with a ‘Left’ or ‘Far Left’ slant than they were pages from the right.” In fact, the website reported, “16% of political keywords contained no right-leaning pages at all within the first page of results.”

Another study conducted by Harvard-trained psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein revealsthat Google’s “autocomplete” function, which finishes a word or phrase one is presumed to be completing, engendered few negative search queries for scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton, when compared with commie-Bernie Sanders, Trump, and other GOP primary candidates. Epstein believed such bias could have accounted for the shift of approximately 2.6 million votes toward scumbag/liar-Clinton.

In another op-ed column, Epstein illuminated eight other of Google blacklists he is aware of: Google Maps, YouTube, Google accounts (Gmail, Google Docs, Google+, YouTube, Google Wallet, and others), Google News, Google AdWords, Google AdSens, Google’s search engine, and its quarantine list. “You may disagree, but in my view Google’s blacklisting practices put the company into the role of thuggish internet cop — a role that was never authorized by any government, nonprofit organization or industry association,” he concludes.

An internal discussion thread leaked to Breitbart News also speaks to this thuggery. “The term ‘abortion’ was added to a ‘blacklist’ file for ‘controversial YouTube queries,’ which contains a list of search terms that the company considers sensitive,” the website explains. “According to the leak, these include some of these search terms related to: abortion, abortions, the Irish abortion referendum, Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters, and anti-gun activist David Hogg.”

Google’s “sensitivity” isn’t just Internet-related. Earlier this year, it formed a new advisory council on Artificial Intelligence (AI). Heritage Foundation president and conservative Kay Coles James was invited to join. That was an affront to 2,500 Google employees who signed a “Googlers Against Transphobia and Hate” petition seeking James’s ouster, describing her appointment as a “weaponization of the language of diversity.”

“But the Google employees didn’t just attempt to remove me; they greeted the news of my appointment to the council with name-calling and character assassination,” James herself explained. “They called me anti-immigrant and anti-LGBTQ and a bigot. That was an odd one, because I’m a 69-year-old black woman who grew up fighting segregation.”

It didn’t matter. In a shameful display of cowardice, Google ousted James … and disbanded the board.

Columnist Jeffery Lord, who writes for the American Spectator — a 52-year-old mainstream conservative magazine banned by Google — spells out the company’s real agenda. Google is “a high-tech giant run by and for would-be left-wing tech totalitarians,” he writes.

Unfortunately, taking on Google and other equally biased tech titans is problematic. As private companies they can do what they want. Moreover, since Pichai is an elitist “in crowd” member, his chances of being held accountable for lying to Congress are virtually nil.

What to do? Columnist Roger Simon proposes  government deregulation. “Legislation could be passed forbidding social media from keeping anybody out, censoring anybody, excepting a very few people such as child pornographers, already against the law,” he writes.

Keeping people out? How about dealing people in? Like copyright protections, Congress should pass a law requiring tech giants to compensate Americans for using their personal data. That data, which Google and other tech giants currently get for free, generate multibillion-dollar revenue streams. Revenue streams that have made them the most powerful and influential entities in the history of man.

That contemptible status quo must be forcefully challenged — while it’s still possible.  ~The Patriot Post

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Late last month President Trump met with a group of Republican senators on Capitol Hill. He discussed a lot of topics... but his most memorable comment came when he called Trump-Russia special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's investigation "two years of bullshit." Now, the public has dirty cop-Mueller's 448-page report, and it tends to support the president's assessment. In this sense: At its heart, the Trump-Russia probe was about one question: Did the Trump campaign conspire, coordinate, or collude with Russia to influence the 2016 election? dirty cop-Mueller has concluded that did not happen. Everything else in the Trump-Russia affair flowed from that one question. Paul Manafort's shady finances would not have come under investigation were it not for that question. Carter Page would not have been wiretapped were it not for that question. Michael Flynn would not have been interviewed by the FBI were it not for that question. Zillions of hours on cable TV would not have been expended on Trump-Russia were it not for that question. And in the largest sense, there would have been no dirty cop-Mueller investigation were it not for that question. And now dirty cop-Mueller has determined there was no collusion. Not that there was no criminal collusion. Or no prove-beyond-a-reasonable-doubt collusion. Just no collusion. dirty cop-Mueller's report says it over and over and over again. Here are seven examples: 1. "The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/byron-york-mueller-trump-and-two-years-of-bullshit?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_04/19/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief&rid=5261

Attkisson: Intel insiders feared 
Trump would expose them

by wnd.com:  There’s no doubt that many of the allegations prompting dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation had a political origin... After all, the probe was fueled by an opposition-research document funded by the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. But investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson believes there’s much more to it. She points to a cadre of intelligence officials, part of what has been called the “deep state” of career bureaucrats, who feared outsider Donald Trump would expose years of criminal acts in his effort to “drain the swamp.” “Based on my info, we may be missing an important point in all this,” she said via Twitter on Thursday after the release of the dirty cop-Mueller report, which concluded the Trump campaign did not collude with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election. “People keep pointing to ‘political bias’ in the 2016 capers. I’m not discounting that, but there’s a bigger overarching theme, I think. Important intel officials also did not want @realDonaldTrump because … (cont) … @realDonaldTrump and his admin stood to expose alleged longstanding criminal wrongdoing within intel agencies. Not just what happened in 2015-2016. Some officials were/are desperately fighting for their lives/freedom.” A blogger for the Twitter news-aggregator Twitchy wrote: “So to Sharyl’s point what we’re seeing in the dirty cop-Mueller report is indicative of a bigger and deeper issue within the intelligence agencies in the federal government and their fear of Donald Trump exposing them because coming in he was far from a ‘government’ type of person. Unlike say, scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton.”...Its time to turn the table

fairus.org } ~ Although Congress is currently on a two-week recess, Democrats were busy pressing the Trump administration on aspects of immigration they believe will serve their interests... The political playmaking began on Monday when the chairmen of the House Judiciary, Oversight and Homeland Security committees launched an inquiry of administration plans to send illegal immigrants to largely-Democrat-controlled sanctuary cities. The proposal was put forth by President Trump in an April 12 tweet in which he said that illegal immigrations who cannot be detained due to current law “will be, subject to Homeland Security, given to Sanctuary Cities and States!” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said the plan remains an option on the table, but did not indicate whether it remains a proposal under serious consideration. House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman scumbag-Elijah Cummings, D-Md.; and Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss. sent a letter stating their interest in any emails and other documents related to what they called a “bizarre and unlawful attempt to score political points” by May 3. The request was directed to White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Kevin McAleenan, acting secretary of the Homeland Security Department and covers all relevant documents from Nov. 1, 2018, through Monday, April 15. Two days later, scumbag liar-Nadler and scumbag-Cummings fired off another letter – this time asking for White House senior advisor Stephen Miller to appear before the House Oversight and Reform Committee regarding several aspects of immigration policy... Their open arm policy is closing up pretty quick now.

Barr: No Bail for Asylum Seekers

yAloWKOAJgPugR5vfYuiAJGjxnqYsi73HI5zf0agZ_pn2ykimjsl16yTLfT3dwNqyY6Kf04qp-ML5CeqZ4e75dOkVOv5uW5uclRA45bWHwepowtAkKbEChZPjQuVESyS7630Wfru6roxqF22EltdiKMfwvoQGdEUTrVg-lk=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x

Thomas Gallatin:  One of the greatest pull factors for illegal immigration is the practice of “catch and release,” where illegal aliens, upon apprehension after crossing the border illegally, request asylum and are released into the U.S. with instructions to return for a court date once their request has been processed. Yet as has often been reported, many of these illegals never return for their hearings.


President Donald Trump continues seeking ways to stop the flow of illegal immigration in spite of being repeatedly rebuffed by Democrats and left-leaning courts. The latest attempt is Attorney General William Barr’s announcement of a new asylum policy that directs the Department of Homeland Security to deny bond hearings to all aliens who illegally entered and requested asylum. The Justice Department explained that Barr was simply acting to enforce the Immigration and Nationality Act to the letter of the law.

Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey wonders about the timing: “It’s also curious that the White House took this step so soon after the departure of Kirstjen Nielsen and Claire Grady. Were they opposed to the policy? Or perhaps prepared to be too lenient with paroles?”

In any case, former Bush administration Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo, himself a legal immigrant, supported Barr’s decision. “This is not part of some grand scheme against immigrants coming into the United States,” Yoo said. “It’s a very narrow thing the attorney general has done. He has the power to overrule immigration judges. Immigration judges have been making mistakes — they’ve been allowing bail to be granted to people seeking asylum who are caught past the border.”

Yoo added, “Asylum seekers have to show what they call a well-founded fear of persecution back in their home countries. The problem for all these people coming from Central America — they’re fleeing for economic reasons. They’re not fleeing because the government is persecuting them.”

Not surprisingly, the American Civil Liberties Union immediately challenged the legality of Barr’s decision, arguing that it is an unconstitutional breach of “basic due process” and that it will see “the administration in court. Again.” However, going by the law and precedent, it appears that Barr is the one standing on more solid legal ground than the ACLU.

Either way, Trump is clearly seeking to force Congress into action. Sitting on the sidelines while a massive border crisis is unfolding doesn’t play well with the American people.  ~The Patriot Post

dirty cop-Mueller’s Handling Of 
The Obstruction Question Was Total Garbage

redstate.com } ~ When AG Bill Barr first released his summary of the dirty cop-Mueller report some weeks ago there was one part that set hair ablaze all throughout the media... Namely, that dirty cop-Robert Mueller decided to not rule on the most important question before him, i.e. if Donald Trump obstructed justice with his criticism of the Russia investigation. Furthermore, dirty cop-Mueller proclaimed that he had not exonerated the President despite the fact that he was not recommending charges. As I wrote at the time, this was a total cop-out and not his job as a prosecutor. It was a total, damaging cop-out for him to include that line instead of just making the call in a normal prosecutorial fashion. That doesn’t mean he needed to say Trump was innocent because that’s not his job, but the proper response would have been to say that he lacks evidence of obstruction and he cannot recommend further action. By ambiguously claiming that he simply can’t make the call, instead leaving it to the DOJ, he’s set us up for another 18 months of mind-numbing stupidity that will end the same way the collusion narrative ended. Today, Andrew C. McCarthy, far more versed on this topic than myself, opined on just how bad it was for dirty cop-Mueller to do what he did. In his report, dirty cop-Mueller didn’t resolve the issue. If he had been satisfied that there was no obstruction crime, he said, he would have so found. He claimed he wasn’t satisfied. Yet he was also not convinced that there was sufficient proof to charge. Therefore, he made no decision, leaving it to Attorney General William Barr to find that there was no obstruction. This is unbecoming behavior for a prosecutor and an outrageous shifting of the burden of proof: The constitutional right of every American to force the government to prove a crime has been committed, rather than to have to prove his or her own innocence...

dirty cop-Mueller Report Proves 
Russian Collusion Claim Is a Hoax

dailysignal.com } ~ The Heritage Foundation’s Hans von Spakovsky analyzes the redacted report about the findings from special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller... and why it’s time to investigate why President Donald Trump was ever suspected of collusion in the first place. The key thing that I get out of it is that, remember when the Attorney General William Barr sent his letter to Congress in which he basically gave what the conclusions of the report were? One, there was no evidence of any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government and two, there was no obstruction of justice. There were a lot of claims by Democrats, including people like Jerry scumbag liar-Nadler, who’s head of the Judiciary Committee, that, “Oh, well, we don’t believe you. We think you’re leaving things out.” Well, reading through the report, it’s very clear that Barr was 100% accurate in his summary of it and that the two-volume report—half of which is the Russian collusion claim, the other half is the obstruction of justice claim. No one can read that and come to any conclusion other than the whole Russian collusion claim was a hoax. There was just nothing to that at all. And none of the actions that were taken by the president could be considered obstruction of justice. Now, it’s very clear when you read it, and you see they relate some of the internal conversations in meetings at the White House about this, it’s clear the president was very angry. But that is a sentiment that I think most people would share if they’ve been falsely accused of a crime and that’s exactly the situation here. The key thing is that he took no official actions of any kind that could in any way actually be considered obstruction of justice...

frontpagemag.com } ~ After 22 months and $32 million, a team of 19 prosecutors with twice as many staff members, wielding 2,800 subpoenas, 500 witnesses, and 500 search warrants, produced nothing multiplied by zero... Nothing except over 400 pages of allegations, innuendo and slime with a great big hole in the center. dirty cop-Mueller and his intrepid team of Democrats had set out to investigate a great conspiracy. After all those millions of dollars, the raids and indictments, there’s no collusion. The supposed counterintelligence investigation turned up nothing on President Trump except his hostility to the witch hunt against him. If firing an FBI director is a crime, then scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton should have been impeached or imprisoned. But if a former FBI director can treat the firing of an FBI director by the president as a crime, then is the country really run by the presidents and the voters who elect them, or by the FBI directors? dirty cop-Mueller and his Democrats painstakingly document Trump’s dislike of their efforts. And then they imply that there is something criminal about an innocent man trying to fight back against a witch hunt. If you don’t defend yourself, it’s perjury. If you do defend yourself, then it’s obstruction of justice. Heads I win, tails you lose. President Trump had the right to fire scumbag-Comey. He had the right to find an AG who would give dirty cop-Mueller the boot. And the dirty cop-Mueller report, with its swill of unsubstantiated innuendo, is the best evidence of that. The fact that dirty cop-Mueller and his people were allowed to finish the spiteful 400+ page contribution to the Democrat 2020 campaign and that it was then made public, is the best evidence of Trump’s intentions. dirty cop-Mueller wasn’t fired. The report wasn’t buried. And it doesn’t indict Trump. It indicts the Russia hoaxers...

‘It’s a Crap Report;’ Claims of ‘Real Evidence’ 
Against Trump ‘All B.S., From Top to Bottom’

.cnsnews.com } ~ The reason there are almost no redactions in Volume Two of Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russian report is that “It’s all crap,”... conservative pundit Mark Levin declared on his nationally-syndicated radio program Thursday. “It’s a crap report,” and Volume Two – which focuses on suspected collusion – is “all crap,” Levin said: “This is a 400-page report – two volumes – I’m not going to sit here and read it to you. What is it, the Bible? What is dirty cop-Mueller Moses? Did he come down from Mount Sinai? “It’s a crap report. Volume Two has almost no redactions. You want to know why Volume Two has almost no redactions – the obstruction volume? Because it’s all crap. It’s not based on serious prosecutorial examination and investigation. It’s one, long New York Times Op-Ed – filled with, this one said this and this one said that, he sat over here, he looked over there, and you know what he told Christie, and who cares?” The claims by “so-called” reporters and legal analysts that the report contains “real evidence” of collusion and grounds to indict Trump were “all B.S., from top to bottom, from left to right,” Levin said: “For nearly three years, the media, on and on and on about collusion. You had so-called reporters, so-called anchormen and women, so-called former federal prosecutors, so-called legal analysts, a conga line going on and on: ‘We have real evidence, ladies and gentlemen, of collusion – and I’d be surprised if the president isn’t indicted. I’d be surprised if he’s not indicted secretly and it’s under seal and they told the statute of limitations and when he leaves, they go for it.’ “We heard it all, all of it: all B.S., from top to bottom, from left to right.”...

The Kremlin Breaks Silence 
On dirty cop-Mueller Report

dailycaller.com } ~ The Kremlin has responded to special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s final report... claiming that the report did not prove Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday that there is “no evidence substantiated by facts” that Russia attempted to interfere in the election, according to the Associated Press. The AP also reported that Russian state-owned media claimed that the dirtty cop-Mueller probe was an attempt to influence U.S. foreign policy. “The dirty cop-Mueller probe was an attempt to threaten the current government and influence U.S. foreign policy without offering any specific evidence,” state-owned Russian television network Rossiya broadcasted. The dirty cop-Mueller report did state that Russia attempted to interfere in the 2016 election, although it also concluded that no Americans helped them in that effort. After years of speculation, the report concluded that there was no evidence that either President Donald Trump or members of his campaign colluded with the Russian government. Putin and the Kremlin have repeatedly denied that they interfered, or even attempted to interfere, in the U.S. election. Such a sentiment has been often repudiated by U.S. intelligence agencies and elected officials on both sides of the aisle.   https://dailycaller.com/2019/04/19/kremlin-responds-mueller-report/?utm_medium=email

Criticism of Ilhan Omar Isn't Incitement

Ben Shapiro
 

A couple of years ago, I spoke at the University of California, Berkeley. My presence was apparently so offensive to a particular group of people that hundreds of police officers were necessary to ensure the safety of the event. As I spoke inside, the protesters milled about, chanting and shouting. One of their favorite ditties: “SPEECH IS VIOLENCE!”

This, of course, is patent nonsense. Speech is not violence — and violence is not speech. Equating the two is the hallmark of a tyrannical worldview: If I can treat your speech as violence, then I am justified in using violence to suppress your speech. And yet that obvious fallacy has become the rallying cry in defense of execrable Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.

Omar, who has been content to spout openly anti-Semitic nonsense every several weeks since her election, came under fire this week for her remarks at an event in late March, shortly after her Democratic colleagues covered for her Jew hatred by watering down a resolution of condemnation. Speaking before the historically Hamas-friendly Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Omar unleashed a barrage of lies about the maltreatment of Muslims throughout America. In the midst of that barrage, she dropped a line about Sept. 11: “CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.”

That minimization of 9/11 — and that’s what it is — resulted in blowback from conservatives. It’s not as though Omar’s history of treating terrorism with kid gloves is anything new, after all. In 2013, Omar did an interview in which she chided one of her professors for treating terrorist groups with horror while failing to do the same to America, England and the military: “The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaida,’ his shoulders went up. … But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity. You don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the Army’ with the intensity.”

In 2016, Omar wrote a letter to a judge asking for lighter sentences for men accused of being Islamic State group recruits, noting that these men merely “chose violence to combat direct marginalization” and calling their recruitment “a consequential mistake” that resulted from “systematic alienation.”

In 2017, Omar wrote for Time magazine: “We must confront that our nation was founded by the genocide of indigenous people and on the backs of slaves, that we maintain global power with the tenor of neocolonialism. … Our national avoidance tactic has been to shift the focus to potential international terrorism.” That’s not exactly a ringing rebuke of international terrorism.

But now Omar is criticizing those who merely quote her as inciting violence. She has claimed that President Trump, who posted a video that juxtaposed footage of 9/11 with her “some people did something” comment, is responsible for an uptick in the number of death threats she has received. Her close friend Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., went so far as to compare Omar to a victim of the Holocaust.

This is immoral in the extreme. Omar isn’t a victim because she’s being criticized. And speech isn’t incitement. Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders wasn’t responsible for the congressional baseball game shooting. Former President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama wasn’t responsible for the Dallas police shooting. And Trump isn’t responsible for those who send Omar death threats. He’s responsible for criticizing her — rightly, in this case. Democrats who hide behind the charge of incitement are simply attempting to quash debate. And that’s far more dangerous for the future of America than criticizing a radical politician.  ~The Patriot Post
